Course detail
Simulation of Dynamic Systems
FSI-FSI-A Acad. year: 2019/2020 Winter semester
Modeling and Simulation is a discipline for developing a level of understanding of the interaction of the parts of a system, and of the system as a whole. The course is focused to continues, discrete and hybrid simulation. Modeling and Simulating by means of finite automata, cellular automata and Petri nets. Modeling and simulating complex reactive systems. Random Number Generation and Monte Carlo Methods. Design of simulation experiments, HIL simulation, visualization and verification.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students will be able to use software methods and applications for simulation.
Prerequisites
Fundamentals of mathematics, including differential and integral calculus of functions in one and more variables and solution of system differential equations. Fundamentals of physics, mechanics, electrical engineering and automatic control, knowledge of programming techniques in environment C/C++ and Matlab.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Course-unit credit is conditional on completing of computer projects. Exam has a written and an oral part and tests students’ knowledge of the subject-matter covered in the course.
Aims
The aim of the course is to make students familiar with the methods and selected software supporting the computer simulation.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Attendance at seminars is checked by means of projects.

Syllabus
Computer labs (exercises) are consistent with the content of lectures. The aim of the labs is to introduce students to practical part of the course above all using Matlab/Simulink system.
The labs are divided into nine parts (modeling and simulation):
a) Mechanical systems
b) Electromechanical systems
c) Logical and electronic systems
d) Fluid systems
e) Stochastic systems (pseudorandom number generators)
f) Cellular automata. Agent based systems.
g) Event driven systems.
h) Petri nets.
i) Fuzzy models.
