| Simulation is experimentation with models. This book describes new computer programs for interactive modeling and simulation of dynamic systems, such as aerospace vehicles, control systems, and biological systems. Simulation studies for design or research can involve many hundreds of model changes, so programming must be convenient, and computations must be as fast as possible.
This book is about advanced simulation programming and describes many new techniques. We provide only a brief review of routine simulation programming but demonstrate computer software for remarkably fast and respectably large simulation studies on inexpensive personal computers or workstations. For hands-on experiments, the enclosed CD contains an industrial-strength software package rather than a toy demonstration program. |
