Graduated as a Chemical Engineer at the Belgrade University, Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy. Immediately Vladimir decided to extend his knowledge and participated and succesfully concluded the Professional Doctorate in Engineering at the Technical University of Eindhoven, with focus to Multi-Phase Reactor modelling.
A passion for chemical engineering and with that the design of “the real” dynamic tooling to simulate and build the best possible plants. “Give me the problem I will create the solution” is what best describes Vladimir.

Who should attend:
The Introduction Course is suitable for anyone who wants to learn equation-based first-principles model building and has a bit of a technical background. No prior experience with mathematical modelling or other modelling tools is required.
A Mobatec certificate will be awarded to anyone who completes the course, by sending us the requested model file. The certificate can be validated on our website and shared on social networks like LinkedIN.
Course Structure:
This is a do-it-yourself online Course that consists of 5 exercises which will take you 2 to 6 hours to work through.
The first two exercises are "model-user" exercises, where you learn the basics of working with Mobatec Modeller. The third, fourth and fifth are "model developer" exercises, where you will learn how to build models completely from scratch.
Exercise I
Simulation of a small flow loop
- Compile and run already made models in Mobatec Modeller
- Customize flow lines position and connection points
- Copy and reuse model parts
This exercise will teach you how to compile, run & customize prebuilt models in Mobatec Modeller.

Exercise II
Simulation of a closed circulating flow loop
- Build a flowsheet from library Unit-Models
- Input parameter values using Initialization Routines and initialize systems
- Run a real time dynamic simulation in Mobatec Modeller
- Handle results
This tutorial will teach you how build and initialise a flowsheet using library models. How to make your model transparent using value displays and run real time process simulations.
