Courses
Courses and dates for classes taught in the United States are listed below; all class enrollments are limited to 12 students (unless otherwise noted) and are scheduled from 8:30 am until 5 pm daily. Contact the Rockwell Automation representative near you for information concerning Arena simulation courses outside the U.S. and Europe.
The 4-day course on Arena is taught by experienced Arena Simulation Consultants and consists of an even balance of lectures and hands-on workshops. Here's how it breaks down:
Day 1 --
Begins with an introduction to simulation and the Arena modeling methodology. Next you'll apply these fundamentals to a mini-project, so that by the end of a single day, you will have achieved your first successful application of simulation. Using Arena's integrated tools and one-step modeling environment, you'll build a graphically animated model, select appropriate random distributions from empirical data, and perform a statistical analysis of model results.
Days 2 and 3 --
The fundamentals presented on Day 1 are extended into areas such as modeling complex decision logic; using Arena's built-in material handling system constructs; and creating interactive, menu-driven models. Animation and analysis concepts are incorporated throughout the course to reinforce the importance of these aspects of successful use of simulation.
Day 4 --
Application-focused consulting and project jump start. Begin to map out your own modeling efforts with the expert advice of our consulting staff.
