Publisher's Synopsis
This book presents the field of dynamic systems modelling and simulation in a way suitable for use by skilled and unskilled users. The main emphasis is on various cost-effective methods and tools for computer simulation of predominantly continuous systems, with modelling and simulation treated as interdependent phases in the problem-solving process. The material is presented and explainbed through the use of real-world case-studies. It will be of interest to engineers working in the field of analysis and design of systems, in both technical and non-technical areas.
