ExtendSim Essentials Course Details
Put yourself on a faster track and learn how to build simulation models using ExtendSim in this 4.5 day hands-on workshop. Basics of discrete event simulation will be covered plus you'll get an essential understanding of the ExtendSim architecture. By the end of the course, you will feel confident in building ExtendSim models and have your eyes opened to the powerful tools that can be quickly used for in-depth model analysis.
Topics include:
- Understanding fundamental simulation concepts
- Learning the basic item handling blocks and using key value handling blocks
- Working with item properties, such as attributes and priorities
- Routing, plus batching and unbatching items
- Presentation features including hierarchy, cloning, and 2D animation
- Resource Management using the Resource Pool and Resource Item methods
- Understanding basic simulation statistics
- Working with Equation blocks
- Creating, editing, and accessing an ExtendSim database
- Learning validation and verification techniques
- Scenario Manager
- Data management and exchange with an ExtendSim database
- Debugging and troubleshooting
Essential ExtendSim Training is designed for Engineers, Managers, Operations Analysts, System Analysts, and anyone else who wants to learn simulation modelling and/or get up to speed quickly with ExtendSim. It is appropriate both for those who are new to ExtendSim and for beginning/intermediate simulation modellers.
Students will build, run, and analyse a model the very first day of this course. The rest of the week will be spent exploring modelling components and concepts as students apply these concepts to a class project while being coached by the instructor. The students then learn and apply more advanced concepts to the model to understand appropriate analysis techniques. The focus is on discrete event modelling, but the class is also essential for new rate-based modellers.
Prerequisites and Preparation for the Course
You will be working on a Windows laptop so you must have basic Window computer skills. Knowledge of basic statistics (random distributions and confidence intervals) is recommended.
Before your first day of class, it will be extremely helpful if you familiarise yourself with ExtendSim. If you have not already done so, please read the first two Tutorial chapters of the ExtendSim User Guide.

ExtendSim Rate-Based Modelling Training Details
Learn how to use the discrete rate (rate-based) capabilities of ExtendSim AT. Discrete rate modelling simulates rates of flow that change when events occur. This is the most common, and most efficient, method of modelling high-speed, high-volume systems such as packaging lines, mining operations, the manufacturing of powders and fluids, chemical processes, and so forth.
This one-and-a-half day course explores each block in the Rate library and presents modelling techniques such as:
Sources, storage, and units
Defining rates and critical constraints
Methods for merging and diverging flow
Control logic, including goals, hysteresis, shifts, and changeovers
Mixing flow and items, such as for filling and palletising operations
Prerequisites
Completion of the Essential ExtendSim Training, or, on instructor approval, a comparable proficiency is absolutely necessary before taking this course.
Pricing & Registration
Cost of Rate-Based Modelling Course is $880 per person inclusive of GST. Contact Rob via phone/email to start registration process.
