the time will consist of presentations and the rest will be hands-on engineers as these disciplines often provide either important input
with the FLACS software. (e.g. anticipated congestion levels and process parameters) or use
the output (e.g. design overpressures) of the FLACS studies, by
providing a better understanding of the most relevant parameters and
mechanisms. Attendance of this course is mandatory for FLACS users.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to use FLACS
