Discussion among participants
Discussion on assigned flowsheets
Open discussion on the solved flowsheets was an important part of the workshop. it helped me clear my doubts and exposed me to different problem solving approaches.
Given flowsheet prior to qualify for training
Discussion on Solved assignment Flowsheets and Open Modelica
SPOKEN TUTORIAL
Screening of candidates
Cape open modelling and more understanding
Well organized schedule
Ability to challenge oneself and contribute through the learning
The assignment system for getting selected in Advance Workshop.
Personal interaction and willingness of the staff to respond promptly.
22. Any suggestions for improvement
No
N/A
Workshop can be conducted in various days and no in a single day altogether
The worrkshop was well organized.
We actually need tutorials without spoken language. Example. They can encircle the option of clicking.
In an Advanced level workshop, playing spoken tutorial videos (that were freely available in Fossee website) was not something that I expected. That too, the examples took in the tutorial were very basic in nature. At least some industry related problem should have been considered as example, that gives the audience a taste of attempting something realistic. (Here I am talking specific to Python Scripting)
NO
No. of days for workshop should be extended
More time duration as some of practice problemsdid not get much time to complete
There is need on improve the knowledge about cape open and chemsep and custom modelling
It will be great if heat integration and Pinch analysis are included in DWSIM.
NA - provided during the workshop
The problem solving time between each session was less.
The spoken tutorial sessions were not that effective; the time was not enough to follow and do the work ourselves. This part should be made more interactive than just leaving things to the participants.
23. Please give your feedback on our forum approach to answer doubts
No Forum is quite good
Went well.
Good approach
Questions are answered clearly and quickly.
Excellent
That was good.
IT IS GOOD
Good
good
Sometime It is not under stable the format and layout of forum
Excellent way of describing FAQ.
NA - provided during the workshop
Yeah, it was great and actually doubts are getting solve not like other forums where no one is there to answer your query.
I have not participated much in the forum, but will consider to use it in future.
24. How do you hope to use the learnings from this workshop into practice?
Good
I have'nt used python scripts before, I'll try to do simulation with it.
By practicing more and creating more flowsheets.
I hope to use in my B.Tech project and also other reports where I would be required to discuss on the process improvement.
Follow the spoken training on weekly basis
Will apply the learnings
YES, I AM TRING TO MODEL IN PYTHON
utilising this opportunity to design processes of industry
Learn Dwsim more in deep and try to solve industrial problems
Conducting institutional level workshop on DWSIM. Assign B.Tech research projects.
FOSS development and application in process consulting and analytics
I'm looking very forward to work on DWSIM in academics and research.
I would like to use the forums, and also request for flowsheets to be made on the FOSSEE forum. I am also glad to know of staff members like Priyam and others who were very helpful all throughout.
25. Any other feedback
No
No issues
NA
None.
Interested to take Textbook Companion project and FreeCAD project
The one day Advanced Workshop began by 10:00 hrs and ended by 17:30 hrs, with a 45 minute lunch break. Introductory speech (non-technical) was for 45 minutes, and 30 minutes talk by Daniel Wagner. So, deducting all these timings, the core technical training went only for 5.5 hours. And, Python Scripting was just touched superficially, with a very very basic example. I personally feel, the Advanced course could have been designed in a much better way.
NO
All good
If practical aspects are provided with workshop and practical meaning of factor and equipment
No.

Overall session was great! An awesome experience!!!
Thank you for organizing everything for us.
