Introduction
aspenONE Exchange is the world’s first content marketplace specifically for the process industries. It is a
cloud-hosted repository of material, developed for engineers by engineers, accessible from within the
Aspen HYSYS and Aspen Plus user interfaces. Available content includes: equipment selection tools,
process models and flow sheets, training materials, and more. aspenONE Exchange is continually
updated with new material from AspenTech and approved third parties, so you can stay current with
best practices in the process industries.
aspenONE Exchange is a powerful tool for expediting and enhancing your process designs. Whether you
need training or a sample model to get started on a new process, you are looking for a solution to
overcome a difficult design problem, or you want equipment specification information to incorporate
into your flow sheet, you can easily search for and integrate the necessary content without leaving the
Aspen HYSYS or Aspen Plus user interface.
This document covers aspenONE Exchange in Aspen HYSYS and Aspen Plus. This guide assumes that the
user has Aspen HYSYS or Aspen Plus V8.2 or higher installed on their computer.

Search and Filters
Entering a Query
aspenONE Exchange makes it easy to find the right content using AspenTech’s proprietary core search
component. To get started, enter a key word or phrase into the search bar in the upper left corner.
aspenONE Exchange will make suggestions as you type (Figure 6).
Figure 6: Type your query into the search bar
Once you type in your query, press the Enter key or click on the magnifying glass button to the right of
the search bar. aspenONE Exchange will search through all of its content (including inside of models and
flowsheets) and return all applicable items.
Use the arrows on the right and left to scroll through the returned content (Figure 7).

Filtering Your Search
In some cases, your search will return a large variety of content. To help determine exactly what you
want to download, it is helpful to use filters to sort through the results. In Figure 8, we see that the
search for “atmospheric crude tower” yields a variety of flowsheets and models. These are already
grouped by App Type, but they can also be sorted by Process using the filters on the left.
Figure 8: Use filters to narrow your search
It is possible to apply more than one filter to generate a very specific search. The list of active filters will
appear underneath the search bar. To remove one, click the X on the right (Figure 9).
