Academic pilot
Give students one term of reviewed Aspen Plus workflow support.
Reflux will run your students' Aspen Plus workflows through the tool at no cost for one academic term. In exchange, we ask for candid feedback and, if the pilot is useful, a co-authored case-study post about what students learned.
Faculty ask
Free Aspen Plus workflow support for one term, shaped by real student use.
Students keep the engineering work visible while Reflux captures what helped, what failed, and what should improve.
A lightweight pilot for courses, labs, and research groups.
The goal is simple: help students spend more time reasoning about simulation decisions and less time getting stuck in fragile simulator steps.
Students submit Aspen Plus requests and receive plan-first support, run summaries, assumptions, and reviewable outputs.
Faculty can see where students struggle, which steps repeat, and which simulation habits deserve more instruction.
The exchange stays explicit.
Reflux supports a bounded cohort or project group for one academic term.
Students and instructors share raw notes on what worked, what confused them, and where the tool broke down.
We summarize anonymized workflow themes, bottlenecks, and learning moments for faculty review.
If the pilot is useful, we co-author a case-study post only with faculty approval.
Academic guardrails matter.
- Faculty control the learning goals Reflux supports the workflow; it does not replace course expectations or grading policy.
- Student work stays inspectable Plans, assumptions, and outputs remain visible so students can explain the engineering reasoning.
- No confidential cases by default Industrial or sponsor data only enters the pilot with explicit permission and appropriate constraints.
- Publication is opt-in Any case-study post can be anonymized, scoped, delayed, or declined by faculty.
A practical starting shape.
Start with one course module, lab section, capstone team, or research group. Pick the Aspen Plus workflows students already need to complete, define what good support would look like, and let Reflux handle the workflow intake, review packets, and feedback synthesis.
One faculty sponsor and a bounded set of students, teams, or projects.
A short setup call, a midterm feedback pass, and an end-of-term synthesis.
A faculty-reviewed narrative about the workflows, learning moments, and product improvements.
Bring one Aspen Plus workflow your students already have to finish.
Reflux will run the pilot free for one term in exchange for honest feedback and a faculty-approved co-authored case-study post if the work is worth sharing.
