Modeling and Simulation: Challenges and Best Practices for Industry

This book enables those working in modeling and simulation, to look at best practices from various disciplines, so that project leaders, managers, and engineers, can apply the non-technical and technical best practices to their work. A case example runs throughout the book, showing the modeling of a refrigerator cooling system. This reveals mistakes that can be made, and explains how to avoid them by using a step-by-step process for the model building process. The aim of the book is to bring answers to those questions in a synthetic and transversal manner, so that future challenges are not seen as a threat, but as an opportunity to create better designs.
