Course plan
Lectures
24 hours (12 Lectures)
Recommended for
Ph.D. students or practitioners in computer science or systems engineering.
The course was last given
The course was given in a different format in 2002.
Goals
The course has the following goals:
• Being easily accessible for people who do not previously have a background in
modeling, simulation.
• Introducing the concepts of physical modeling, object-oriented modeling and
component-based modeling and simulation.
• Providing a not too formal reference on the Modelica language.
• Demonstrating modeling examples from a wide range of application areas.
• Providing an understanting of the compilation techniques used for
equation-based languages as well as an understanding of the of the mathematical
aspects od dynamic systems.
Prerequisites
Some elementary knowledge in programming languages
Contents
Object-Oriented modeling is a fast-growing area of modeling and simulation that
provides a structured, computer-supported way of doing mathematical and
equation-based modeling. Modelica is today the most promising modeling and
simulation language in that it effectively unifies and generalizes previous
object-oriented modeling languages and provides a sound basis for the basic
concepts.
The course presents an object-oriented component-based approach to computer
supported mathematical modeling and simulation through the powerful Modelica
language and its associated technology. Modelica can be viewed as an almost
universal approach to high level computational modeling and simulation, by
being able to represent a range of application areas and providing general
notation as well as powerful abstractions and efficient implementations.
The course gives an introduction to the Modelica language to people who are
familiar with basic programming concepts. It gives a basic introduction to the
concepts of modeling and simulation, as well as the basics of object-oriented
component-based modeling for the novice, and a an overview of modeling and
simulation in a number of application areas.
