Abstract
A workstation-based simulator of an aluminium electrolytic cell has be en constructed. A mathematical model of the cell is integrated with a database and a knowledge base, and the simulator serves as a tool for the training of personnel and for research related to cell dynamics an d cell control. When used in conjunction with an expert system, it pro vides a powerful decision-making tool or an efficient supervisory syst em. The mathematical model, the simulator itself, the user environment , the interactive simulation procedure as well as examples of the use of the simulator are presented in detail.
