Course detail

Modeling and Simulation

FSI-RDO Acad. year: 2019/2020 Summer semester

This module deals with modelling of dynamic system on computer. Systems are described by ordinary differential equations, differential-algebraic equations or e.g. by state automata. MATLAB and Simulink are used as main tools including their advanced functions and features. Theoretical findings are demonstrated on real educational models controlled from Simulink using I/O card MF624.
