I outline recent advances in numerical simulations of gaseous nebulae. These fall into three major areas; the Opacity Project and its extensions, the role of grains within the ionized gas, and the effects of mechanical heat on the nebula. These advances, together with improvements in stellar atmosphere calculations, should lead to a new generation of more realistic simulations of conditions in planetary nebulae and predictions of their emitted spectra.
