ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI (April 27, 2008) - The new release of MiMiC v3.0.0 supports all open OPC process control system platforms. This includes HIMA, Emerson, Rockwell, and Schneider process control systems, among others.
Additionally, the new 3.0.0 release includes improved modeling and operator training functionality.MiMiC v3 process modeling provides low-cost, yet dynamic and scalable simulations, revolutionary to the process control industry.
MiMiC v 3.0.0 is the first third-generation .NET simulation software that is graphical, flexible, powerful, and dynamic. It can be quickly implemented by end users and system integrators and does not require a team of simulation experts to use.
MiMiC v 3.0.0 provides non-intrusive simulation interfaces that minimize control system changes, allow for systems testing, and secure control system integrity. For a small investment, plant managers can simulate their plant's control system accurately and dynamically, saving on cost by testing, avoiding incidents, and keeping the plant productive. They can also quickly train and qualify operators.
The MiMiC v3.0.0 release that shipped to all current MiMiC Software Support users in April 2008 included:
MiMiC v3.0.0 Release System Components
• MiMiC Explorer – System and Simulation Management• Simulation Studio – Simulation Building and On-Line Viewing• MView – Real-time, configurable tables of MiMiC data• Component Studio – Dynamic Process Flow Diagrams linked to MiMiC and OPC Data• Data Monitor – Dynamic Trends of MiMiC and OPC Data• Operator Training Manager• Diagnostics• DeltaV Simulation Generator• License Manager• Online Help

MiMiC v3.0.0 Data Access & Control
• Full Simulation Database Control• Full MiMiC Services Control• Import / Export via • OPC Server integrated into base product Substantial return on investment in simulation systems has been proven across all process industries from batch to continuous processes. The improvements manifested in a third-generation system are even more profound. Probably the most significant improvement in MiMiC's 3rd-generation simulation is the added modeling functionality that saves time and money and allows users to create advanced models of complex plants. Don Sengur, Advanced Simulation Consultant, notes that the MiMiC v3 conversion tool alone saves simulation development time by 10%.
MiMiC v3 provides dynamic, high-fidelity unit operations modeling with intuitive wizard-driven configurations and powerful data visualization tools. Using simulation for testing and training for automation systems has proven benefits for capital project execution and operational excellence initiatives. MiMiC v3.0.0 is currently the only third-generation simulation software of its kind to solve the industry’s complex needs and deliver significant results, with minimal risk and investment.
