Modelling and Simulation

Introduction (motivation, definition of important concepts, presentation of different models and modelling approaches, cyclic modelling procedure, evaluation and verification)

Basic presentations of dynamic mathematical models, transformations between presented models and model analysis

Introduction to simulation (simulation methods, simulation of basic system’s presentations)

Software tools: Matlab, Simulink

Simulation experiments: parametrization, linearization, optimization

Simple methods of identification in time domain

Analog systems and their significance for system engineering

Illustrative examples from electrotechnics, mechanics, hydraulics, pneumatics and thermodynamics

Illustrative examples of model design of laboratory pilot plants

Course goals are:

• to point out the extend usage of modelling and simulation and the multidisciplinary nature of these activitis in a scientific field,
• to present cyclic procedure of modelling and to illustrate its usage in different fields,
• to present basic knowledge regarding modelling and simulation of continuous dynamical systems,
• to present MATLAB with Simulink and its usage in the field of modelling and simulation.

Lectures, homeworks, laboratory exercises, possibility of cooperation in seminar and project student's work
