A Brief History of SimSci-Esscor SimSci• SimSci founded in Nov. 1966 by Dr. Wang
 SP05 –distillation program

• 1974: SSI/100 - first flowsheet simulator • 1979: PROCESS –keyword • 1988: PRO/II - interactive • 1995: PRO/II with PROVISION • 1997: Simsci became a public company • 1998: Simsci acquired by Siebe

A Brief History of SimSci-Esscor SimSci• 1999: Siebe merged with BTR and renamed the company Invensys

 $5 Billion company located in UK  Diversified Engineering and Electronics group  Employs more than 30,000 people worldwide • 2002: Hextran 9 0 Simsci &Esscor merge 9.0, • 2003: Dynsim 3.0 • 2004: Dynsim 3 3 ROMeo 3 06 PRO/II 7 0 3.3, 3.06, 7.0 • 2005: Dynsim 3.4, ROMeo 3.1, PRO/II 7.1, VFS 5.0
