商品描述

Build complex embedded systems faster and with lower costs by:

knowing when and how much simulation testing is appropriate.

applying engineering methods to simulation design and development.

using the best tools available to develop simulations.

validating the simulation as an accurate representation of the system.

analyzing and effectively communicating results to management.

using simulation to reduce expensive system testing.

managing the costs of simulation development and testing.

Simulation veteran Jim Ledin delivers step-by-step instructions on the entire range of simulation techniques, and gives sage insight into the related management issues. You learn about simulation from the ground up beginning with the fundamentals of mathematical models and progressing through detailed instructions and application examples of working simulations. Practice exercises reinforce your ability to apply the techniques to a variety of problems.

Simulation novices will gain an understanding of the principles of simulation so they can effectively use commercial simulation tools like Simsystem,VisSim, and MATLAB/Simulink.

Experienced engineers will learn details of implementing non-real-time and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulations, as well as hone their skills in configuration management and simulation results analysis.

Engineering managers will learn the value of simulation as a part of the product development process and its importance to the bottom line.
