DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE: The main topics concern:
System models – physical similarity and analogy principles; Model transformation and reduction; Constructing and using complex models; Simulation modelling - modelling of time, Monte Carlo simulation, verification
and validation of models, model analysis, design of simulation experiments; Continuous processes
simulation - numerical integration methods, accuracy and stability of the solution, aliasing effect;
Computer simulation of large circuits and systems - sparse matrix approach, modified nodal
approach, structural graphs, sparse matrices, assessment of effectiveness; Building blocks and
subsystems, links and interfaces, input and output, types of analyses (analogue, discrete,
analoguediscrete, mixed-mode, synchronous and asynchronous digital simulation); Simulation of
discreteevent systems and queuing systems; Software tools and languages- MATLAB, GPSS,
PSpice, etc.
