Description

This course provides an introduction to simulation and to the application of simulation software to the mining industry. It covers the basic theory of simulation including queuing theory. The two most common simulation environments commercially available – ARENA and GPSS/H will be covered and used to model and animate les complex mining systems.

Learning Outcomes:
On successful completion of the course students should be able to:

identify and select appropriate commercial computer simulation software tools that are available to the mining industry;
design, develop and evaluate an interactive computer model of a mining system using 2D simulation software
be competent at writing code to animate the developed models and
be aware of the current development of 3D simulation environments and their possible use in the mining environment
