Course detail

Modeling and Simulation

FSI-RDO-AAcad. year: 2020/2021

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.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Lectures, exercises, labs, individual students work.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

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 50 points for semestral projects and their presentation and up to 20 points for the final exam.
