Simulation Objections Answered

This podcast gives answers to common objections against using dynamic simulation on process automation projects. Recorded by Martin Berutti, MYNAH Technologies, December 2007.

Opinions vary on the use of simulation for process automation projects with process companies and automation service providers. But most users across industries fall into two distinct views. One view is shared by people who have used simulation for automation system software acceptance test and operator training and would not do a project without using this technology. The other view is held by people group has not adopted the use of simulation systems for automation projects, in general, due to perceptions that do not reflect the reality of using this technology. Their reluctance to using simulation for process automation projects generally can be summarized into four objections. These objections are answered here.
