Simulation Methods in Engineering
Content:
- System analysis and modelling
- System dynamics
- Discrete event simulation
- Multi-agent simulation
- Input data and stochastic simulation
- Simulation based optimization
- Introduction to the software AnyLogic
Target qualifications:
This module provides students with comprehensive knowledge about computer based simulation concepts to address practical challenges in engineering. Modern simulation and optimization software is introduced within tutorials. The module project (coursework) offers an opportunity to students to work in groups on current problems in the context of civil and environmental engineering (e.g. production logistics, pedestrian simulation, pollutant dispersion). Using object-oriented simula-tion software the students will analyze, model and simulate different engineering systems. The programming is carried out using Java. Also the students acquire team working and presentation skills. |
