This is a new, fully interactive PC based course in GASMOD - Gas Pipeline Hydraulics Software. It will serve as a learning tool for beginners and a refresher course for users of our most popular software. This course is based on our GASMOD training workshop conducted at various company sites in USA. This CD Course narrated by the instructor, contains step by step introduction to the GASMOD software, such as how to create a pipeline model, create and edit pipe data files, model branches and pipe loops, etc.
 
Here is an outline of the course.
