METSIM® Training program 2022 (Europe)

Flowsheeting in metallurgy and mining

InsPyro is your METSIM® agent in Europe. In 2022 we organize 3 training weeks for new METSIM® users, and also topical trainings on a monthly basis.

Topical trainings

2 hour online training sessions dedicated to a specific topic of METSIM® modelling.

• 20/01/2022: Focus on reactions
• 17/02/2022: Focus on particle size distribution (PSD)
• 17/03/2022: Focus on splitters
• 21/04/2022: Focus on making stream boxes
• 19/05/2022: Focus on compounds
• 16/06/2022: Focus on dynamic modelling
• 22/09/2022: Focus on controllers
• 20/10/2022: Focus on dynamic data exchange (DDE)
• 17/11/2022: Focus on APL statements

Where: online 09.30 – 11.30 (Brussels time)

Cost: Topical trainings are included within your M&S. If your M&S has expired you can also participate at a cost of 200€/person per topical training.
