PlantStream Inc., part of Arent Corporation, has launched a new integration package. This package links its automated plant design solution, PlantStream🄬, with Aspen Capital Cost Estimator™ (ACCE). ACCE is a capital investment estimation tool created by Aspen Technology, Inc. (AspenTech).
AspenTech , located in Massachusetts, USA, is a top global provider of advanced industrial software. Their tools help with design, simulation, and optimization in manufacturing, energy, and other process industries. Linking ACCE with PlantStream helps businesses in the chemical, oil, and infrastructure sectors. This new package allows for a smooth flow in the plant design process.
Integration Package Overview
ACCE helps users quickly estimate capital costs. This includes expenses for equipment, materials, and construction for big facilities like plants and factories. It is a trusted tool used globally by engineering firms and plant owners.

Now, with the new integration package, users can import equipment lists and specs from ACCE directly into PlantStream. This removes the need for manual data conversion. This advancement speeds up 3D modeling in the early design stages. It boosts overall project efficiency.
Purpose and Benefits
In the past, plant and factory projects struggled to match early cost estimates with their initial designs. This led to a gap between expected costs and actual design plans.
This new integration addresses that challenge by:
- Facilitating easy data transfer from ACCE’s early cost estimates to PlantStream’s 3D design space.
- You can export 3D models from PlantStream to detailed design tools like Smart 3D and AVEVA E3D.
These features bring the whole project workflow together. They start from initial estimates and go through detailed design to construction. This helps make decisions faster and improves cost accuracy.
Strategic Vision
This release fits Arent’s wider goal of “app-integrated digital transformation.” It focuses on easy and scalable integration into current business operations. The new package sets up future interoperability. This means the solution can adapt to changing industry needs.
