Simulation for industry

Over recent years modelling and simulation has become viable for wider application to process plants of all types, due to the adoption by control systems vendors of industry standard hardware, software and communication protocols and the availability of greatly increased processing power.

Dynamic, continuous-time simulation can now be used for industry, at much lower cost than in the past, throughout the lifecycle of a plant. It is ideal for applications such as design validation, analysis of operational and safety problems, operator training systems, and the development and testing of change proposals – none of which can be satisfactorily performed using traditional steady-state or qualitative analysis, on-the-job training or trial-and-error methods.

Costec Systems' expertise and Netalyser modelling and simulation tools enable proposed new designs or changes to plant or procedures to be trialled, modified and proven in simulation prior to any commitment of financial or operational resources. Operators can be trained on a Costec Systems’ simulator without risk of lost output or plant damage.
