The analysis of modern simulator complexes intended for training and certification of technological process personnel is carried out. A generalized architecture of computer-based simulator complex is presented, and the structural separation of simulator complex levels is described. The methods of model filling of computer simulators are considered. As examples, the computer simulators, used in the chemical and petrochemical industries are presented. The main requirements for the design of computer simulators are shaped upon the analysis of the statistics provided by the Federal Service for Ecological, Technological and Nuclear Supervision on various industrial facilities as well as the advantages and disadvantages of modern simulators and the existing federal rules and regulations in the field of industrial safety. To construct computer simulators new structural principles and mathematical modeling techniques of technological processes are encouraged to use.
