| Course Description |
Introduction to Simulation Modeling is a course for first-time or novice
users of RiverWare. It has been taught for over 11 years by the CADSWES engineers and researchers
who develop RiverWare software, and has received enthusiastic reviews (evaluation statistics
are available upon request).
During this training you will learn to build and run simulation models using
many of RiverWare's special modeling features and analysis utilities. The
course includes both lectures and self-guided tutorials. The detailed training
manual will serve as a valuable reference for future use of RiverWare.
After you have taken the course, the training models (including those you
developed through the tutorials) will be available to you, along with a 30-day
evaluation copy of the software.
Special meetings and sessions can be arranged to answer your modeling
questions or discuss your particular modeling needs. Please let us know in advance if you would like to schedule a special session to discuss
the application of RiverWare to a particular basin. |
