Generic object-oriented modelling, simulation and optimization of dynamical systems
Abstract
This chapter describes the generic object-oriented modeling, simulation, and optimization of dynamical systems. Dynamic simulation is an important tool for the design, optimization, and control of nonlinear dynamic or complex systems as they appear in chemical engineering. Such simulations are based on detailed mathematical models, which are much more effective than conventional models regarding a precise description of reality. The editing of such highly detailed models belongs usually to the most laborious and tedious tasks of technical and chemical engineering. Objective of the chapter is the development of a general modeling tool that is able to generate model components automatically, which are documented as and provided with a self-generated interface for model parameterization. To realize this approach, it is necessary to develop a problem-related strategy that takes into account modern software engineering techniques-such as object orientation, rapid prototyping, and so on-to minimize developing time without decreasing run-time quality and stability of the modeling system.
