Course Objectives

 To review the basic concepts of System

Dynamics.

Basic System Models

 Modelling is the process of representing the behavior of

a system by a collection of mathematical equations &
logics.
Modelling is comprehensively utilized to study the
response of any system.
 Response of a system is a measure of its fidelity to its
purpose.
 Simulation is the process of solving the model and it
performed on a computer.
 Equations are used to describe the relationship between
the input and output of a system.

 Analogy approach is also widely used to study system

response.
