Course detail
Modeling and Simulation I
FSI-RDO-A Acad. year: 2023/2024 Winter 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.

Entry knowledge
Vectors and matrixes. ODEs. Mathematics and physics in the scope of previous study. Basic knowledge of programming in MATLAB.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
The evaluation is based on the standard point system (0-100 points). Students can get up to 30 points for 3 tests during the semester. A minimum of 15 points is required to be classified. Further, the students can get up to 20 points for semestral projects and their presentation and up to 50 points for the final exam.
Attendance at practical training is obligatory. Evaluation are made on exercises based on evaluation criteria.
Aims
Students will learn about modelling of dynamic systems (mechanical, electromechanical, control) on computer.
Students gain knowledge about
• linear systems and its analysis
• modelling in MATLAB/Simulink
• modelling of control systems
• practical experience with control of real system using I/O card from Simulink.
