A discrete system is one where, at any given instant in time, a countable number of things can take place. The basic operation of a mine itself can be considered such a system. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscrete Simulation and Animation for Mining Engineers \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eexplains how to model mining systems using GPSS\/H(R) and PROOF(R) by Wolverine Software Corporation. Employing a unique approach that encourages engagement from the start, the text discusses animation first, and then slowly introduces simulation language. As each new topic is covered, an animation is provided to illustrate the key concepts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeveraging valuable insight gained from the author's extensive experience modeling mines around the world, the book: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes how to apply discrete system simulation to mines\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eShows how to make those simulations come alive with animation \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes real-world examples and exercises that hone practical problem-solving skills\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten by a mining engineer for mining engineers and students of mining, \u003cstrong\u003e Discrete Simulation and Animation for Mining Engineers \u003c\/strong\u003eoffers a comprehensive yet accessible treatment of mine simulation and animation useful in increasing the efficiency of industrial mining processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Sturgul\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1482254417\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781482254419\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 600\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.10w x 1.30d","brand":"John Sturgul","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088377917695,"sku":"9781482254419","price":270.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c1ce16d3-c4c4-4b2d-96aa-594456bbaffa.jpg?v=1769104501","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/discrete-simulation-and-animation-for-john-sturgul-9781482254419","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
