Description
This practical book presents fundamental concepts and issues in computer modelling and simulation (M&S) in a simple and practical way for engineers, scientists, and managers who wish to apply simulation successfully to their real-world problems.
It offers a concise approach to the coverage of generic (tool-independent) M&S concepts and enables engineering practitioners to easily learn, evaluate, and apply various available simulation concepts.
Worked out examples are included to illustrate the concepts, and an example modelling application is continued throughout the chapters to demonstrate the techniques.
The book discusses modelling purposes, scoping a model, levels of modelling abstraction, the benefits and cost of including randomness, types of simulation, and statistical techniques.
It also includes a chapter on modelling and simulation projects and how to conduct them for customer and engineer benefit. The chapters cover the stages of a modelling and simulation study, including process and system investigation, data collection, modelling scoping and production, model verification and validation, experimentation, and analysis of results.
What Every Engineer Should Know About Modeling and Simulation provides comprehensive guidance for those looking to integrate M&S into their professional practice.
