    Next Webinar: Practical Techniques for Efficient and Robust Simulation

    Presented by: Jason Lillywhite

    As simulation models grow in detail and complexity, they can often become slow, difficult to manage, and cumbersome to debug. This webinar addresses this common challenge by providing practical modeling techniques. We will explore strategies to decrease simulation runtimes, reduce memory usage, and enhance model stability. The goal is to help you build simulations that are not only faster but also more robust and transparent, leading to more confident decision-making.

    Topics will include advanced timestepping strategies, control of result saving, model stability, and the vectorization (arrays) over traditional looping. We will also cover how to structure your model logically using features like conditional containers and SubModels to streamline calculations and improve clarity. You will leave this session with techniques to make your current and future models more efficient and reliable.

    28 October 2025 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM PDT
