are highly recommended. They allow the HYSYS application to boot in seconds and significantly speed up the opening, autosaving, and compiling of heavy backup ( .hsc and .bkp ) files. 4. Graphics Card (GPU) – Flowsheet Visuals
Intel Core i5 or i7 (2.8 GHz or faster) is the baseline. For V14, newer Intel Core Ultra or Xeon Gold series are recommended for heavy lifting.
Please note that Aspen Technology updates these requirements annually. Requirements can vary significantly depending on whether you are using the standard Steady State simulation or the more demanding Dynamics and Optimization modules.
This guide is compiled from AspenTech documentation, hardware benchmarking forums, and interviews with senior process engineers across refining and LNG industries. Last updated: May 2025. Aspen Hysys System Requirements
Insufficient RAM will cause severe system slowdowns when working with large thermodynamic packages or multiple open cases. 16 GB RAM. Recommended: 32 GB RAM or higher.
Below are the hardware and software specifications based on the latest versions (V14, V12, and V14+).
Integrated Intel HD/Iris Graphics or AMD Radeon graphics. are highly recommended
Aspen HYSYS relies on several Microsoft components. The installer typically handles these, but manual verification is wise.
Windows 7 and 8 are no longer supported by current versions.
AspenTech no longer publishes separate system requirement documents for each product version. Starting with aspenONE V9, all hardware requirements are included within the platform specification document. The company rigorously validates its software on a range of hardware, operating systems, and virtualization environments to ensure that customers deploy solutions in fully tested and optimized configurations. Graphics Card (GPU) – Flowsheet Visuals Intel Core
For standard standalone or workstation use, the following specifications are generally considered the baseline: Intel Core-i5 family (2.8 GHz) or faster. Memory (RAM): 8 GB to 16 GB.
Aspen HYSYS is not a 3D video game, but its Process Flow Diagram (PFD) interface can become graphically intensive.
Any modern integrated GPU (Intel UHD 770 or AMD Radeon Graphics) handles 95% of HYSYS tasks. For multi-monitor setups with 4K+ resolution, add a basic dedicated GPU like an NVIDIA T1000 or RTX 3050.
