Description:
The module aim is to give students the knowledge necessary for creating simulation models and conducting simulation experiments. The presented topics are related to various computer simulation techniques, simulation software, and simulators' applications in the design and optimisation of technical systems. Students will gain the abilities to build models with the use of simulation environments.
