Tips for successful practice of simulation

Published: 09 December 2012 Publication History

Abstract

A simulation project is much more than building a model and the skills required for success go well beyond knowing a particular simulation tool. A 30 year veteran discusses some important steps to enable project success and some cautions and tips to help avoid common traps. This content is similar to presentations given at previous WSC conferences.
