PSE-NL Workshop: From idea to application – An introduction to fast modelling in AIMMS
Friday, 23 April 2021 from 10:00 to 12:00
AIMMS is a technology platform that helps making high quality decisions with an increased level of consciousness about impact, trade-offs, opportunities, and risks. Typical applications are in Network design, Inventory planning, Sales and Operation Planning and virtually any type of (large) optimization problem. In this workshop, Arthur d’Herbemont will introduce AIMMS basics and build a network design example from scratch, from a database to user interface. Focus will be put on development flexibility, and collaborative work on models. Purpose is to “feel” the software, get inspired and share best practices on app modeling. After the workshop there is a possibility to arrange a trial license.

PSE-NL Workshop: Global System Analysis in gPROMS
Friday, 12 April 2018 from 12:30 to 17:00, MetaForum, MF. 4.208203, TU/e, Eindhoven (Bring your own laptop to the workshop!)
Process Systems Enterprise is the world’s leading supplier of Advanced Process Modeling technology and related model-based engineering and innovation services to the process industries. PSE’s gPROMS platform technology enables users to explore the process decision space rapidly, reduce uncertainty and make better, faster and safer design and operating decisions through deeper understanding of their processes. gPROMS’ Global System Analysis (GSA) allows the comprehensive exploration of the behaviour of a system over domains of any user-selected subset of its input variables (‘factors’), and output variables (‘responses’). This provides a quick and easy way to explore the complex process design and operational decision space systematically using high-fidelity models, rather than via point activities using repeated simulation runs. Global System Analysis can be used to extract value from virtually any existing gPROMS model. In this workshop, we will cover:
– How to define input factors and attribute uncertainty to these
– How to define output responses / key performance indicators are of interest
– How global system analysis makes the most of available computational resources
– How to explore different types of analyses, including uncertainty analysis and sensitivity analysis
– How to easily inspect results using tables, histograms and scatter plots
Please register before 16th of March 2018, at info@pse-nl.com. Attendance to the workshop costs €25,- or is free for PSE-NL members.

PSE-NL Workshop: Process simulation with the Mobatec Modeller
Friday, 20 September 2017 fom 13:00 to 17:00, Zwarte doos, Room 203, TU/e, Eindhoven (Bring your own laptop to the workshop!)
Mobatec was founded in 2005 by Dr. Ir. Mathieu Westerweele and Ir. Jan Laurens. Together they have created the dynamic simulation tooling environment Mobatec Modeller based on a different, dynamic approach of process models. The developed approach has proven itself being very efficient. Models are constructed faster and are also guaranteed to solve structurally and in most cases also numerically. Mobatec Modeller is a user-friendly, computer-aided modelling tool to interactively define and modify models of any size – from single units to entire processing plants. It is an answer to the increasing need for process models of different accuracy and with different focus on details. Rapid construction, modification, validation and maintenance of consistent, high fidelity, first principle based process models is supported with Mobatec Modeller. Mathieu Westerweele will introduce Mobatec and highlight some industrial cases that have been solved over the years. After that he will guide you during a mini-workshop through the very first exercise of the Mobatec Modeller Introduction Course and will teach you how to run and modify an already made model.
Please register before 13th of September 2017 at info@pse-nl.com.
Attendance to the workshop costs €25,- or is free for PSE-NL members.
