Computer Simulation Course code: 218029 | 8 ECTS credits

Basic information
Level of Studies: Undergraduate applied studies
Year of Study: 1
Semester: 1
Requirements:
Goal: Advances in simulation methodology have made computer simulation widely accepted as well used. Students acquire the necessary knowledge as well as understanding of specialized simulation languages (GPSS, SIMSCRIPT), simulation software packages (Arena, Flexim, Simulink). Students are enable them to use simulations in the design phase before the system is built, or for analysis efficiency of functioning of existing systems, as well as for analyzes in order to predict changes in the code existing systems and a means of predicting the performance of new systems.
Outcome: Students are able to independently apply the basic principles of simulation modeling and implement the phases that are necessary in the implementation of simulation processes. Students understand and apply the syntax and through it the basic blocks and control commands of the GPSS / H simulation language and will be in able to efficiently use individual simulation software packages (Arena, Flexim).
