Objective:
The course is designed to be an in-depth, three-day course focused on advanced modeling techniques as well as the powerful Active-X capability of ProModel. You will learn the techniques and features you will need to model a variety of real-world situations through a series of practical exercises, demonstrations, and lectures. Explore the whole host of features & hidden modeling secrets that can help experienced users accurately model even the most sophisticated and complex systems.
