Hey guys

I'm new here and I've been learning Ignition at the Inductive University. The course is good, the classes are well organized in a sequential manner.

But I'm missing the context, something like at the end of the course I built a model application.

Does anyone have any material or tutorial where we will create a demo application for any process?

As an exemple: waste and water treatment or an application for oil & gás

There is a simulation available on the gateway:  
Config → OPC UA → Device Connections → Programmable Device Simulator.  
You can play around with that to generate some time-varying signals suitable for your test project. You can further manipulate those using Expression Tags which can scale and add offset to give more realistic values.

A quick web search found this which may also be useful. Free for non-production applications.

You can do one of the elective studies, which includes building a mini perspective project from start to finish.
