Webinar overview

Simulation models are powerful decision-support tools, but their value depends on how well they reflect real plant behaviour. This Molycop Insights webinar will focus on how to ‘tune’ simulators within the Molycop Tools environment and validate the predictive quality of mineral processing models against operational data.

Hosted by Rodrigo Muranda, Global Leader – Mineral Processing Modelling at Molycop, the session will explore best-practice approaches for calibrating model inputs, aligning simulations with plant realities and assessing model reliability across different operating conditions. Drawing on practical examples and real-world applications, the webinar will bridge theory and practice, helping practitioners understand not just how to tune models, but why validation is critical for confident decision-making.

Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of how Molycop Tools supports robust model development, scenario analysis, and continuous improvement in comminution circuit optimisation.

What you'll learn

  • Why simulator tuning is critical to model credibility and decision-making.
  • Key inputs and assumptions that most influence model predictions.
  • How to align simulation outputs with plant data and operating realities.
  • Practical approaches to validating predictive accuracy.
  • Common pitfalls in model calibration and how to avoid them.
  • How tuned and validated models support better operational and strategic decisions.
