We offer free, monthly webinars to present GoldSim features and applications. Upcoming webinars are listed below. If you would like to be placed on our Webinar Mailing List to be reminded every month of the upcoming webinar, contact us.

All webinars are recorded (and posted to the site within a day or two), and these provide an excellent resource for learning about GoldSim features and applications.

Materials and video recordings of past webinars are available on our Webinar Archive Page.

Next Webinar: Simulating Flow Controls using the Controller element

Presented by: Jason Lillywhite

Real-world water systems rely on a combination of physical components and control logic to manage processes, such as maintaining a target level in a reservoir. Pumps and valves are adjusted by automated systems or human operators to control inflows and outflows. GoldSim’s new Controller Element is designed to directly simulate this entire closed-loop feedback process. Join our upcoming webinar to learn how to use this powerful feature to model flow controls. We will demonstrate how you can provide the Controller with a dynamic operating target, and how it adjusts its output based on a "process variable," which reflects the state of the component it is aiming to control.

You'll see how this intuitive element simplifies model construction by replacing what would otherwise require complex, custom logic. The session will cover the differences between the Deadband, Proportional, and PID control methods using a simple example and also showcase the element's application in a real-world mine water balance model.
