Computer Modeling And Simulation Of Dyna

This book briefly discusses the main provisions of the theory of modeling. It also describes in detail the methodology for constructing computer models of dynamic systems using the Wolfram visual modeling environment, SystemModeler, and provides illustrative examples of solving problems of mechanics and hydraulics. Intended for students and professionals in the field, the book also serves as a supplement to university courses in modeling and simulation of dynamic systems.
