Class Description
Date: 10 – 12 December 2025
Duration: 3 Days
Location: Zürich, Switzerland
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Developing complex products is a difficult task in terms of cost, quality and time. Wrong decisions, and thus faulty system specifications, could lead to quality issues, project delays and rising costs.
Here, modelling and simulation can be beneficially used in nearly every stage of a modern development process. Modelling and simulation can strongly support the product definition and specification phase to prove the correct system behavior without a physical prototype and further reduce specification errors to avoid cost and time intensive correction loops.
Furthermore, it is well established in the verification and validation phases in terms of Model-in-the-Loop, Software-in-the-Loop and Hardware-in-the-Loop testing.
This course is designed for professionals seeking to enhance their understanding and analysis of complex systems through modelling and simulation. The trainees will learn different types of models and modelling approaches, including modelling of system dynamics and software behavior modelling.
The course covers the following topics:
– How can system simulation help in the decision-making process.
– How simulation software works.
– How to model continuous and physical systems using causal and acausal modelling approaches.
– How to model time discrete parts of the system, e.g. software behavior.
– How to experiment with and analyze model outputs to make informed decisions.
Trainees will gain practical skills in developing simulation models and analyzing system behavior to support decision-making in their respective professional domains.
