Applied material flow simulation

Content

Learning Content:

  • Methods of modeling a simulation such as:
    • Discrete-event simulation
    • Agent based simulation
  • Design of a simulation model of a material flow system
  • Data exchange in simulation models
  • Verification and validation of simulation models
  • Execution of simulation studies
  • Statistical evaluation and parameter study

This is an application-oriented course in which the course contents are applied and deepened using the Anylogic software.

Learning Goals:
Students are able to:

  • select the appropriate simulation modeling method depending on a modeling objective and build a suitable simulation model for material flow systems,
  • extend a simulation model in a meaningful way with data import and export,
  • verify and validate a simulation model,
  • conduct a simulation study efficiently and with meaningful results, and
  • design and conduct a parameter study and statistically analyze and evaluate the results.

Recommendations:

  • Basic statistical skills
  • Prior knowledge of a common programming language (Java, Python, ...).
  • Recommended course: T-WIWI-102718 - Discrete Event Simulation in Production and Logistics

Workload for 4,5 ECTS (135 h):

  • regular attendance: 21 hours
    self-study: 114 hours
