Computer Modeling and Simulation of Dynamic Systems Using Wolfram
SystemModeler: Textbook by Kirill Rozhdestvensky, Vladimir Ryzhov, Tatiana
Fedorova, Kirill Safronov, Nikita Tryaskin, Shaharin Anwar Sulaiman, Mark
Ovinis, Suhaimi Hassan.
The textbook «Computer modeling and simulation of dynamic systems using
Wolfram SystemModeler» briefly describes the basic concepts of the theory of
modeling and the methods of constructing computer models of dynamic systems
using an interactive graphical modeling and simulation environment Wolfram
SystemModeler, as well as illustrative examples of solving problems in mechanics
and hydraulics.
The first chapter introduces the reader to the basic concepts of mathematical
modeling. It discusses the important concepts such as a model, physical, abstract
modeling and simulation and gives an idea of the classification and basic properties
of mathematical models. The computer simulation process is divided into stages,
and a brief description of each stage is given. Particular attention is paid to identifying differences between continuous, discrete and hybrid models. The second
chapter describes Wolfram SystemModeler (WSM). The WSM is intended for
computer simulation of complex multidomain physical and engineering systems
and processes based on the Modelica language. It allows to simulate the developed
models and provides a wide range of tools for analyzing the results of the simulation. The reader gets acquainted with the basics of writing program code with
use of the object-oriented language, Modelica. The basics of working in the
ModelCenter to create a component model using the Modelica standard library
are demonstrated. The rules for performing a computational experiment in the
