GoldSim Webinars

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: Modeling Water Rights in Storage Systems

    Presented by: Jason Lillywhite

    Join us for a focused webinar on simulating water rights in shared reservoir systems using GoldSim. We'll explore how to model discrete paper water transactions, inflow allocations, storage limits, and state-dependent priorities within a dynamic, rule-based framework.

    This session will also cover how to constrain discharges based on stored rights, enabling more realistic and policy-driven simulations. Whether you're building a new model or refining an existing one, this webinar will offer practical techniques and examples to help you represent complex water rights systems with flexibility.

    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.

    Presentation Times:

    29 July 2025 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM PDT   

    31 July 2025 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM PDT
