Introducing Aspen Capital Cost Estimator 13
Introducing Aspen Capital
Cost Estimator
Aspen Capital Cost Estimator, formerly known as Aspen Kbase, is a fully
integrated, design, estimating, and scheduling system designed to help you
evaluate the capital cost of process plants worldwide.
Main Features
Detailed EPC Estimates
Aspen Capital Cost Estimator uses the equipment models contained in the
Icarus Evaluation Engine (IEE) – a knowledge base of design, cost, and
scheduling data, methods, and models – to generate preliminary equipment
designs and simulate vendor-costing procedures to develop detailed
Engineering-Procurement-Construction (EPC) estimates. Volumetric models
generate a costed, quantity takeoff for the bulk materials without using
factors or user input. The volumetric models also produce the quantities of
pipe, valves, concrete, steel, and instruments identified by the associated
equipment or area. Components of each line of pipe and instrument loop are
quantified and costed, enabling you to view and adjust construction tasks.
The Aspen Capital Cost Estimator Work Item Models produce the required
man-hours by craft and task needed to install Aspen Capital Cost
Estimator-generated bulks, as well as the equipment Aspen Capital Cost
Estimator designed, by simulating detailed design construction tasks. Finally,
the Engineering Models in Aspen Capital Cost Estimator produce man-hours
by discipline and engineering work product.
CPM Schedules
Aspen Capital Cost Estimator has a built-in activity network generator to
automatically prepare Critical Path Method (CPM) schedules. The EPC
estimate and the planning schedule are in tune with one another, each having
been prepared from the same project scope.
14 Introducing Aspen Capital Cost Estimator
Information Tracking
Aspen Capital Cost Estimator provides tree diagrams that allow you to view,
track and revise information such as power distribution, process control
networks, tiered contracts, areas and their equipment specs, and installation
procedures.
Aspen Capital Cost Estimator
Project Workflow
Before using Aspen Capital Cost Estimator, it may be helpful to review the
recommended project workflow:
Note: Early in the life of a project, when limited mechanical design detail is
available, you need only enter a rough outline of scope to produce the initial
estimate of cost and schedule. As more information becomes available, the
details of the project can be entered and new reports can be generated and
analyzed.
1 Create project scenario and define properties like country base, units of
measure, and currency.
2 Define design basis (general mechanical design rules), wage rates and
productivities, code of account definition and allocation, material and
man-hour indexing, equipment rental, and project execution schedule
settings.
3 Define the Power Distribution system (if desired).
4 Define the Process Control system (if desired) and link to areas and
substations.
5 Add contractors and redefine responsibilities (if desired) and link to areas
and substations.
6 Run an item evaluation to produce direct costs for an individual
component or run a project evaluation to produce design and cost results
needed to prepare project reports.
7 View and/or print reports.

Main Window
The Main Window is located to the right of Project Explorer by default. The
Main Window is a workspace for all Aspen Capital Cost Estimator documents,
the List view, and other views. You can adjust the relative size of each
window by clicking on the division bar and dragging it to the desired location.
Note: Here, the Main Window in Workbook Mode displays several tabs
because a component specifications form (component A1) and a project
specifications form (Escalation Specs) have been opened.
By default, the Main Window is in Workbook Mode. In this mode, tabs are
placed at the bottom of the window. These tabs represent all windows open in
1 Getting Started 33
the Main Window. Clicking on a tab brings the associated window to the
foreground.
Clicking Tile or Cascade on the Window menu displays all windows open in
the Main Window. Regardless of the window arrangement, the tabs are still at
the bottom of the Main Window when in Workbook Mode. Clicking the
maximize button ( ) on a window returns all windows to full tab view.
Clicking the condense button ( ) on the menu bar displays all windows open
in the Main Window as they were when last condensed.
This is how the Main Window appears when in Workbook Mode with
Cascade selected as the condensed window arrangement.
Aspen Capital Cost Estimator lets you float Project Explorer, the Palette, and
the Properties Window in the Main window. When in this state, these windows
behave just like other windows that are part of the Main Window. See
“Customizing the Icarus Interface” on page XX41XX for details.
You can turn off Workbook Mode by unmarking Workbook Mode on the
View menu. When Workbook Mode is off, no tabs are displayed; to bring a
window to the front, you must click on the desired window or select the
desired window from the Window menu.
List View
The List view in the Main Window displays details on items selected in Project
Explorer. For example, when you click on an area in Project Explorer’s Project
view, the List view displays a list of all components in the area. This is
referred to as the “area-level” list (shown below), in which the components
are displayed in rows with component details in columns. When you click on a
component in Project Explorer’s Project view, the List provides information
only on the selected component, with component details listed in rows. This is
referred to as the “component-level” list.
34 1 Getting Started
Note: In the interface arrangement pictured here, the Palette and the
Properties Window have been hidden to make room for the Main Window.
Press alt+1 to hide or display the Palette and press alt+2 to hide or display
the Properties Window. Press alt+0 to hide or display Project Explorer.
Filtering Mechanism
You can limit area-level lists to a single category of component. To do so,
click the drop-down arrow on the toolbar and click on a category.
For example, if you click ? Incomplete Items the list will only include
components that still have specifications that need to be entered in order for
the component to be included in an evaluation.
Column Settings
You can select which columns appear on the area-level list and in which
order.
To change column settings on the area-level list:
1 Right-click on any of the column headings.
1 Getting Started 35
A pop-up menu lists all of the columns. Columns currently displayed are
checked.
2 To simply hide/unhide a column, you can click it on the menu.
2 To change the order, click Settings on the menu.
The Settings dialog box appears.
3 To move a column to the right on the List View, click Move Down. To

columns to the default setting (shown above).
4 Click OK to save the settings.
When you restart Aspen Capital Cost Estimator, all columns will be displayed
in the default order unless Save Window States is selected in Preferences (by
default, Save Window States is selected). See “Saving Window States” on
page XX42XX for more information.
Palette
The Palette contains elements that you can apply to the project scenario. If
you think of Project Explorer as a picture of the project scenario, you might
36 1 Getting Started
think of the Palette’s contents as the pigments and dyes used to first sketch
out and then color in that picture.
For example, if you wish to import areas or components from another
scenario into your current scenario, you can double-click on the scenario in
the Palette to get a listing of its areas and components and then drag the
area/component to the Project Explorer’s Project View. (See “Importing
Project Components” on page XX330XX.)
Likewise, the Palette’s Libraries view contains libraries of Project Basis
specification files that, in Project Explorer’s Project Basis view, you can select
to use. From the Palette, you can develop the libraries by creating new files,
modifying existing files, and importing files. (See “Specification Libraries” on
page XX238XX.)
1 Getting Started 37
When you add a component to the project scenario, you can choose from the
components listed in the Palette’s Components view. Then, after you add the
component, it appears in Project Explorer’s Project view. (See “Adding a
Project Component” on page XX310XX).
Finally, you can use the Palette’s Templates tab to access templates, both
those supplied with Aspen Capital Cost Estimator, and any you or others may
have created.
38 1 Getting Started
In the default interface arrangement, the Palette appears on the right side of
the screen. Like Project Explorer, it can be displayed in a variety of ways. See
“Customizing the Icarus Interface” (page XX41XX) for display options. To
hide/display the Palette, press ALT+1 or used the checked command on the
View menu.
As indicated previously, the Palette has four views: Projects, Libraries,
Components, and Templates. The Components view, shown below, has a
scrollable split window that displays details on equipment items. The division
bar can be adjusted to hide or expand the details section.
Note: The Palette pictured in this section has been dragged onto the Main
Window and re-sized.
1 Getting Started 39
In addition to letting you import the contents of other scenarios, the Projects
view provides options for opening scenarios, viewing scenario properties, and
deleting scenarios. Right-click on a project scenario to access the pop-up
menu of options. The Projects view displays all projects in the default project
folder and any other active project folders. (See “Preferences,” particularly
the “Locations” subsection on page XX56XX, for instructions.)
Properties Window
When you select a field on a specifications form, the Properties Window
provides a description of the field. The description often includes minimum,
maximum, and default values.
40 1 Getting Started
Here, the Properties window (docked on the right side of the screen)
displays information on the Item Description field, which is selected on the
specifications form.
Click on the Properties window to freeze and unfreeze the content. When
the content is frozen, you can move to another field while retaining the
description of the original field in the Properties Window.
Like the Palette and Project Explorer, the Properties Window can be
displayed in a variety of ways. See “Customizing the Icarus Interface” on
page XX41XX for display options.
To hide/display the Properties window, press ALT+2 or use the checked
command on the View menu.
1 Getting Started 41
Templates Tab
Use the Templates tab to access templates. Shown below are the ten
templates included in Aspen Capital Cost Estimator. If you had created
custom templates, they would appear on this list.
Customizing the Icarus Interface
In the default interface arrangement, Project Explorer docks to the left edge
and the Palette and the Properties Window share the right. When docked,
windows remain attached to an edge and all other windows are sized to fit in
the remaining space available.
Right-clicking on a border of any of these three windows accesses a pop-up
menu from which you can select Allow Docking. When Allow Docking is
marked, the window can be docked to any edge.
Note: When Float In Main Window is selected on the pop-up menu, the
Allow Docking option is inactive.
To dock to a different edge:
1 Click the border that contains the Close button ( ) and hold down the
left mouse button.
A bounding outline will appear as you drag the window.
2 Drag the outline to the desired edge and release the left mouse button.
42 1 Getting Started
Here, Project Explorer is docked to the top of the screen.
When multiple windows are docked to the same edge, you can use the
division bar to adjust the relative sizes. You can also use the
Contract/Expand ( / ) buttons to either switch from one window to the
other or split the side.
Undocking by Dragging onto Main Window
One way to undock the window is by dragging it onto the Main Window. Its
size can then be adjusted.
Float In Main Window Option
You can at any time select Float In Main Window on the pop-up menu. In
this state, the window behaves like the List view or a specifications form, with
a tab at the bottom of the Main Window.
Saving Window States
If you are using the default Preferences, Aspen Capital Cost Estimator saves
the interface arrangement. This way, when you open Aspen Capital Cost
Estimator the arrangement is the same as you left it.
You can also set the Preferences so that Aspen Capital Cost Estimator opens
displaying the default arrangement. See the section on the General tab view
of the Preference dialog box (page XX53XX) for more information.
1 Getting Started 43
Aspen Capital Cost Estimator Toolbar
By default, the toolbar is docked under the menu bar. However, you can float
the toolbar by clicking on a blank area of the toolbar and dragging it. You can
also dock the toolbar to the bottom of the screen or vertically to the edge of
the Project Explorer, Main Window, or the Palette. To do so, drag the toolbar
over any one of these areas until an outline of the toolbar appears. Release
the mouse button when the outline appears in the desired area.
The following toolbar buttons are available in Aspen Capital Cost Estimator:

3 Specify a project and scenario name.
You cannot overwrite the scenario being salvaged; you must specify a project
and scenario name different from that of the original scenario.
4 Click OK.
Aspen Capital Cost Estimator creates the new scenario. Except in name, this
project scenario will be identical to the scenario that was open when Aspen
Capital Cost Estimator was abnormally exited. After creating the new
scenario, Aspen Capital Cost Estimator asks if you wish to open it.
Unlocking Project Scenarios
If Aspen Capital Cost Estimator crashes while you have a project scenario
open, Aspen Capital Cost Estimator remembers that you have the project
scenario checked out. When you re-open Aspen Capital Cost Estimator, you
will have to unlock the project scenario before opening it.
Anyone trying to open a locked project is denied access and provided with a
message that states the time the project scenario was checked out, the user
name of the person who checked it out, and the computer on which it was
checked out.
A project can only be unlocked by the user who checked it out or by an
administrator.
52 1 Getting Started
To unlock a project scenario:
1 Right-click the project scenario in the Palette.
2 On the menu that appears, click Unlock.
You can now open the project scenario as you normally would.
Copying Project Directories
Within a project directory, Aspen Capital Cost Estimator creates an
independent folder for each project and also creates, within a project folder,
an independent folder for each project scenario. This makes it easy to move
project scenario files from one computer to another on the same network.
Simply copy and paste the folder in Windows Explorer.
You can also copy an entire project directory with multiple project and project
scenario folders. Doing so creates an identical set of folders and files in the
new location.
See “Preferences,” particularly the “Locations” subsection on page XX56XX, for
information on adding project directories and setting a new default project
directory.

Automatic Task Backup – select this check box to have Aspen Capital Cost
Estimator perform a backup before executing major tasks, such as a project
evaluation.
Timed Backup (Interval, in minutes) – select this check box to have
Aspen Capital Cost Estimator perform a backup at a specified interval. Specify
the interval in the box provided.
Timed Recovery (Interval, in minutes) - select this check box to have
Aspen Economic Evaluation write a recoverable file at the specified interval.
Specify the interval in the box provided. If an Economic Evaluation application
crashes, when you open the Aspen Economic Evaluation application that
crashed, you are prompted to recover your file and save it with a new name.
Note: After a project has crashed and been recovered (under the new name),
the original project that crashed should be deleted as it may no longer be in a
stable state.
After deleting the crashed project, you can rename the recovered project to
the previous name if you want.
You can also select to either have Aspen Capital Cost Estimator overwrite the
project backups or create unique backups.
Overwrite Project Backups – mark to have Aspen Capital Cost Estimator
overwrite the previous backup every time the program performs a backup.
Unique Project Backups – mark to have Aspen Capital Cost Estimator

56 1 Getting Started
on the frequency of backups (see task and timed backup options above),
selecting Unique Project Backups could result in large amounts of disk space
being consumed by backups.
Process
The Process tab view provides options for importing from an external
project.
Import Connected Streams – mark to include connected streams when
importing an external project.
Import Installation Bulks – mark to include installation bulks when
importing an external project.
The Process tab view also provides options for unsupported simulator models
and custom models.
Map Unsupported Models To Quoted Cost Item – mark to have Aspen
Capital Cost Estimator map, by default, unsupported simulator models to
quoted cost items.
“Unsupported Models” refer to models not listed in the Project Component
Map Specifications dialog box shown on page XX193XX. Aspen Capital Cost
Estimator does not recognize them and, therefore, cannot map them to Icarus
project components. If this option is left unmarked, Aspen Capital Cost
Estimator will not map unsupported models. As a result, a unit operation
could appear disconnected in the Process Flow Diagram (PFD).
Quoted cost items are not project components, but act as place markers to
ensure that unit operations remain connected in the PFD.
Note: Marking this option will not affect the mapping of supported simulator
models. If a simulator model is listed in the Project Component Map
Specification dialog box, then the specified mapping will be used. Further, if
a simulator model is listed and has no default mapping (that is, Current Map
List section is blank), then it is assumed that the user does not want to map
such simulator models to any Icarus project components.
For example, if this option is marked, a USER unit operation in Aspen Plus can
be mapped to a quoted cost item if this option is marked. This ensures that
the unit operation remains connected in the PFD.
Activate Custom Model – mark to activate the Custom Model tool explained
on pages XX335XX through XX341XX.
Locations
In the Locations tab view, you can select:
 Project Directories

  • 13. Introducing Aspen Capital Cost Estimator 13 Introducing Aspen Capital Cost Estimator Aspen Capital Cost Estimator, formerly known as Aspen Kbase, is a fully integrated, design, estimating, and scheduling system designed to help you evaluate the capital cost of process plants worldwide. Main Features Detailed EPC Estimates Aspen Capital Cost Estimator uses the equipment models contained in the Icarus Evaluation Engine (IEE) – a knowledge base of design, cost, and scheduling data, methods, and models – to generate preliminary equipment designs and simulate vendor-costing procedures to develop detailed Engineering-Procurement-Construction (EPC) estimates. Volumetric models generate a costed, quantity takeoff for the bulk materials without using factors or user input. The volumetric models also produce the quantities of pipe, valves, concrete, steel, and instruments identified by the associated equipment or area. Components of each line of pipe and instrument loop are quantified and costed, enabling you to view and adjust construction tasks. The Aspen Capital Cost Estimator Work Item Models produce the required man-hours by craft and task needed to install Aspen Capital Cost Estimator-generated bulks, as well as the equipment Aspen Capital Cost Estimator designed, by simulating detailed design construction tasks. Finally, the Engineering Models in Aspen Capital Cost Estimator produce man-hours by discipline and engineering work product. CPM Schedules Aspen Capital Cost Estimator has a built-in activity network generator to automatically prepare Critical Path Method (CPM) schedules. The EPC estimate and the planning schedule are in tune with one another, each having been prepared from the same project scope.
  • 14. 14 Introducing Aspen Capital Cost Estimator Information Tracking Aspen Capital Cost Estimator provides tree diagrams that allow you to view, track and revise information such as power distribution, process control networks, tiered contracts, areas and their equipment specs, and installation procedures. Aspen Capital Cost Estimator Project Workflow Before using Aspen Capital Cost Estimator, it may be helpful to review the recommended project workflow: Note: Early in the life of a project, when limited mechanical design detail is available, you need only enter a rough outline of scope to produce the initial estimate of cost and schedule. As more information becomes available, the details of the project can be entered and new reports can be generated and analyzed. 1 Create project scenario and define properties like country base, units of measure, and currency. 2 Define design basis (general mechanical design rules), wage rates and productivities, code of account definition and allocation, material and man-hour indexing, equipment rental, and project execution schedule settings. 3 Define the Power Distribution system (if desired). 4 Define the Process Control system (if desired) and link to areas and substations. 5 Add contractors and redefine responsibilities (if desired) and link to areas and substations. 6 Run an item evaluation to produce direct costs for an individual component or run a project evaluation to produce design and cost results needed to prepare project reports. 7 View and/or print reports.

Saving Project Scenarios To save a project scenario:  Click on the toolbar or click Save on the File menu. Aspen Capital Cost Estimator saves any changes. To save the scenario with a new name: 1 Click Save As on the File menu. Note: Save As is useful when studying alternatives.
  • 49. 1 Getting Started 49 Note: You can save scenarios to project directories other than the default one provided by Aspen Capital Cost Estimator. See Preferences, particularly the Locations subsection on page XX56XX, for instructions. 2 Specify a Project Name and Scenario Name and click OK. Aspen Capital Cost Estimator saves the scenario as specified. Deleting Project Scenarios You should delete project scenarios when they are no longer needed. Deleting old scenarios opens free disk space and makes working with scenarios easier. To delete a project or scenario: 1 To delete a project scenario, right-click on the scenario within the project directory and click Delete on the pop-up menu.
  • 50. 50 1 Getting Started A dialog box asks you to confirm deletion. Note: You can select in Preferences not to have this prompt appear (see page XX53XX). 2 Click Yes to delete the project scenario. -or- Click No to retain the project scenario. Salvaging Project Scenarios If you exit Aspen Capital Cost Estimator abnormally without being able to save the current project scenario, you can salvage the project scenario from cached project information. To salvage a project scenario: 1 Restart Aspen Capital Cost Estimator. A window appears asking if you wish to save the cached information found in storage. 2 Click Yes. Aspen Capital Cost Estimator displays the Salvage Project As dialog box.
  • 51. 1 Getting Started 51 3 Specify a project and scenario name. You cannot overwrite the scenario being salvaged; you must specify a project and scenario name different from that of the original scenario. 4 Click OK. Aspen Capital Cost Estimator creates the new scenario. Except in name, this project scenario will be identical to the scenario that was open when Aspen Capital Cost Estimator was abnormally exited. After creating the new scenario, Aspen Capital Cost Estimator asks if you wish to open it. Unlocking Project Scenarios If Aspen Capital Cost Estimator crashes while you have a project scenario open, Aspen Capital Cost Estimator remembers that you have the project scenario checked out. When you re-open Aspen Capital Cost Estimator, you will have to unlock the project scenario before opening it. Anyone trying to open a locked project is denied access and provided with a message that states the time the project scenario was checked out, the user name of the person who checked it out, and the computer on which it was checked out. A project can only be unlocked by the user who checked it out or by an administrator.
  • 52. 52 1 Getting Started To unlock a project scenario: 1 Right-click the project scenario in the Palette. 2 On the menu that appears, click Unlock. You can now open the project scenario as you normally would. Copying Project Directories Within a project directory, Aspen Capital Cost Estimator creates an independent folder for each project and also creates, within a project folder, an independent folder for each project scenario. This makes it easy to move project scenario files from one computer to another on the same network. Simply copy and paste the folder in Windows Explorer. You can also copy an entire project directory with multiple project and project scenario folders. Doing so creates an identical set of folders and files in the new location. See “Preferences,” particularly the “Locations” subsection on page XX56XX, for information on adding project directories and setting a new default project directory. Preferences The settings in Preferences let you specify how Aspen Capital Cost Estimator will act each time it is used. To access Preferences: 1 On the Tools menu, click Options; then on the sub-menu that appears, click Preferences.

  • 55. 1 Getting Started 55 the Component specifications when you switch to a different form on the Component’s Options menu. Spreadsheet Views The Spreadsheet Views tab lets you customize individual spreadsheet views. Use the Spreadsheet View field to specify the spreadsheet view you want to customize. When you have selected the spreadsheet view you want to customize, use the Units of Measure group to specify what units of measure to use. You can select both. Use the Fields group to specify which fields will be visible on the spreadsheet view you selected. To make fields visible:  Move the field(s) from the Available to the Visible pane. To hide fields:  Move the field(s) from the Visible to the Available pane. Backup The Backup/Recovery tab lets you select when backups are to be performed. You can select both options. Automatic Task Backup – select this check box to have Aspen Capital Cost Estimator perform a backup before executing major tasks, such as a project evaluation. Timed Backup (Interval, in minutes) – select this check box to have Aspen Capital Cost Estimator perform a backup at a specified interval. Specify the interval in the box provided. Timed Recovery (Interval, in minutes) - select this check box to have Aspen Economic Evaluation write a recoverable file at the specified interval. Specify the interval in the box provided. If an Economic Evaluation application crashes, when you open the Aspen Economic Evaluation application that crashed, you are prompted to recover your file and save it with a new name. Note: After a project has crashed and been recovered (under the new name), the original project that crashed should be deleted as it may no longer be in a stable state. After deleting the crashed project, you can rename the recovered project to the previous name if you want. You can also select to either have Aspen Capital Cost Estimator overwrite the project backups or create unique backups. Overwrite Project Backups – mark to have Aspen Capital Cost Estimator overwrite the previous backup every time the program performs a backup. Unique Project Backups – mark to have Aspen Capital Cost Estimator retain previous backups by creating a unique backup each time. Depending
  • 56. 56 1 Getting Started on the frequency of backups (see task and timed backup options above), selecting Unique Project Backups could result in large amounts of disk space being consumed by backups. Process The Process tab view provides options for importing from an external project. Import Connected Streams – mark to include connected streams when importing an external project. Import Installation Bulks – mark to include installation bulks when importing an external project. The Process tab view also provides options for unsupported simulator models and custom models. Map Unsupported Models To Quoted Cost Item – mark to have Aspen Capital Cost Estimator map, by default, unsupported simulator models to quoted cost items. “Unsupported Models” refer to models not listed in the Project Component Map Specifications dialog box shown on page XX193XX. Aspen Capital Cost Estimator does not recognize them and, therefore, cannot map them to Icarus project components. If this option is left unmarked, Aspen Capital Cost Estimator will not map unsupported models. As a result, a unit operation could appear disconnected in the Process Flow Diagram (PFD). Quoted cost items are not project components, but act as place markers to ensure that unit operations remain connected in the PFD. Note: Marking this option will not affect the mapping of supported simulator models. If a simulator model is listed in the Project Component Map Specification dialog box, then the specified mapping will be used. Further, if a simulator model is listed and has no default mapping (that is, Current Map List section is blank), then it is assumed that the user does not want to map such simulator models to any Icarus project components. For example, if this option is marked, a USER unit operation in Aspen Plus can be mapped to a quoted cost item if this option is marked. This ensures that the unit operation remains connected in the PFD. Activate Custom Model – mark to activate the Custom Model tool explained on pages XX335XX through XX341XX. Locations In the Locations tab view, you can select:  Project Directories Add/remove alternate project directories and set the default project directory. See “Adding Project Directories” on page XX59XX for instructions.  Other Location Specifications
