text: i want to create a chemical plant panel training simulation software.what is the suitable platform&language? i want to do mca project on chemical plant  dcs panel training simulation software which trains the operator to respond to problems encountered during operation. i'm not so familiar with that but i guess the best way is to use matlab/simulink. it's very hard to simulate fluid flow with elbows, pumps, valves, etc.. all together with signals from rtus, lds, etc.. good luck. i love what you are doing by the way i know somebody who has included navier-stokes in a function somehow in matlab if you want i can help you take my e-mail: deltamc2hotttmail_com
