MATLAB and Simulink are widely used in chemical engineering for data analysis, visualization, process optimization, process control, AI, and custom process modeling applications. CHEMCAD is a widely used tool for process design and simulations. Many chemical engineering students learn MATLAB and CHEMCAD during their undergraduate education and continue to utilize these tools in their professional lives.

In both academia and industry, there is interest in utilizing these tools together for applications such as integrating custom unit models into CHEMCAD simulations, designing advanced controls for processes, and process optimization. In this talk, we will explore how these tools can be interfaced and showcase examples of using both tools together.
