What’s New in aspenONE
V8.8

aspenONE Drive
aspenONE Drive is a feature in Aspen Plus and Aspen HYSYS V8.8 that allows
model authors to upload and access their models and those shared by other
users from any device on the company network. Model authors can keep
models private or share with specific colleagues and, if required, choose to
prevent the model from being downloaded, thus protecting intellectual
property. Shared users receive an email containing a link to the model on
aspenONE Drive where they can search for models, download models to their
desktop (if enabled) or view and run models on the web.
To get started with aspenONE Drive, install aspenONE Web Server
(Engineering DVD 1) on any PC/server on the network, and enter the URL for
the server on the aspenONE Drive page in Aspen Plus or Aspen HYSYS. To
use aspenONE Drive, you must be a member. You can request membership
by entering the URL in a web browser and clicking the Request Membership
button.
