Object Oriented Languages for Dynamic Systems

Lectures: 24 h

Recommended for
Students in ENSYM, SCORE, STEM, interested in software for modeling and simulation of dynamic systems.

The course was last given: Fall 1997 (A first version of the course).

Goals
To give an overview of modern equation-based object oriented modeling languages, with emphasis on the new language Modelica, and how to model complex dynamic systems.

Prerequisites
General background for type 3 courses.(Advanced ECSEL course)

Organization
Lectures and exercises/mini-project.

Contents
