THE ANDECS FRAMEWORK FOR COMPUTATIONAL SYSTEM DYNAMICS INTEGRATION

摘要

Integrated Systems Engineering is essential in design-concept validation. In particular, computer-aided procedures for system dynamics integration beyond mere functional integration are necessary in order to neither underestimate nor to overestimate design-safety margins. At hand of the open system-dynamics integration environment ANDECS (ANalysis & DEsign of Controlled Systems), we deal with concepts and realized features of a framework for computational experimenting in system-dynamics design and evaluation. This paper is the lead paper to four companion papers which together form a case study on applied multidisciplinary dynamics design experimenting.
