Course Objectives

• To provide powerful multi-disciplinary systems engineering through compatible model libraries for a large number of engineering domains.
• To design high-fidelity modeling of complex integrated systems.
• To design intuitive modeling i.e. advanced, formally defined object-oriented modeling language.
• To enable users to easily build their own components or adapt existing ones to match their unique needs.
• To increase the ability to integrate with complex 3D geometry for integrated simulation.
• To increase powerful model management, calibration & optimization capabilities.
• To provide hardware-in-the-loop simulations (HILS) i.e. real-time simulation with AurdinoUno, Python, Matlab, 3D real-time animation, CAD files import capability.
