simmod training

TransSolutions offers training in SIMMOD to current and prospective users of the software. The public class consists of lectures covering the basic fundamentals of SIMMOD and hands-on computer lab sessions. SIMMOD training for both beginners and advanced users is offered. The basic course covers the steps involved in building an accurate SIMMOD airport model. Specific topics include database development, data input and modeling techniques, simulation logic, creation of output reports, animation, and conducting successful SIMMOD projects.

The advanced course explores SIMMOD's capabilities of modeling complex airfield and airspace issues. Developed by TransSolutions under contract to the FAA, the course materials include such topics as balancing runway arrival flow, gate blocking, power back/push back modeling, multiple departure queues for one runway, and holding aircraft in staging areas.
