Objectives for using simulations
- Learning to perform operator skills in practice (replacement of on-the-job training)
- Enhancing on-the-job training by offering an abscrete representation (preparation of on-the-job training)
- Coping with changes in the plant by enhancing the operators mental model of the plant
- Coping with changes in the control systems of the plant (the user interfaces of advanced control systems and simulations share many characteristics
- Mastering the skill of using simulation programs for predicting process conditions
