SLB Symmetry 2026.2: Process Simulation Platform with Tela AI Assistant

Symmetry 2026.1 is the latest release of SLB's collaborative process simulation software for upstream, midstream, downstream, and new energy sectors. This version introduces the Tela AI assistant, native EOS-CG/GERG-2008 thermodynamics, a dynamics diagnostics tool, and enhanced workflow automation .

Key New Features

Tela AI Assistant

Symmetry 2026.1 introduces the Tela AI Assistant, SLB's domain-oriented AI technology that provides instant guidance on unit operations, calculations, variables, and workflows . This marks a significant shift from traditional "solver + GUI" to "Agentic AI" interaction—engineers can ask questions and receive answers drawn from the Symmetry manual, knowledge base, and application examples . Tela is a separate software package requiring independent licensing .

Native Thermodynamic Models

• EOS-CG and GERG-2008: Native implementation supporting multithreading with improved convergence control for dynamic simulations . EOS-CG is the standard model for carbon capture and storage (CCS) applications .

Dynamics Diagnostics Tool

A powerful new diagnostics feature automatically identifies slow-performing unit operations and pinpoints control loops or logic elements causing performance bottlenecks . Users can track variables throughout the run for deeper analysis of system behavior .

Workflow Automation

• Case Migration Helper: Bulk open/save multiple cases to prepare for the built-in PFD tool transition .

• Amines 2 Custom Reaction Sets: Define and store multiple equilibrium reaction sets within the property package .

• OPC Improvements: More efficient data exchange with reduced redundant information .

Deprecation Notice

Beginning with Symmetry 2027.1 (Q1 2027), the 32-bit installer will no longer be provided. Users must install the 64-bit version .
