OPNET is the commercial network-simulation suite originally from OPNET Technologies; it was acquired by Riverbed in 2012 and the product line is commonly referred to now as Riverbed Modeler. This thread started with asking where tutorials can be found and asking what OPNET is — was correct that it is a network simulation/analysis tool and that video walkthroughs are often available.

Good places to look (short checklist):

  • Official docs and community pages from Riverbed for the current product name and supported versions; academic licenses are often required for full downloads.
  • University course pages and lab handouts, which frequently publish step-by-step exercises and sample projects that match specific Modeler versions.
  • Video walkthroughs for quick, visual introductions (as suggested). Search for “OPNET Modeler tutorial” or “Riverbed Modeler tutorial” on YouTube (YouTube search).
  • Repositories and example projects on public code hosts (search GitHub for “opnet”) for sample setups and configs (GitHub search).

Practical notes: start with the example topologies shipped with the software, run a basic simulation, and inspect the built-in statistics before trying custom node/process models. Watch for version mismatches—models, project files, and example labs are often tied to a specific Modeler release. For background reading on the product history and naming, see the OPNET Wikipedia entry (OPNET).

What's opnet?

Member Avatar for JorgeM

the only opnet I'm aware of is for network managmenet/simulations. Not aware of any common tutorials you can find on the web, other than some universities that publish basic info.

Have you tried youtube for "getting started" type of tutorials?
