Tutorial Simulation of Supply Systems in Production

The tutorial “Simulation of Supply Systems in Production” is for students of mechanical engineering and industrial engineering in the Master's program with an interest in energy supply and simulation. The tutorial covers the basics of object-oriented modeling and dynamic simulation as well as validation using a demonstrator for industrial supply systems.

Registration

Registration process Participation in the tutorial is only possible if you have registered in time via e-mail to Tobias Lademann M.Sc..

You should only register for the course and the exam in TUCaN once you have received a confirmation email from the department. If you only register via TUCaN and are not registered at the department, your registration is considered invalid and will be removed from the TUCaN registration. If there are more registrations than the maximum number of participants, a selection will be made with regard to the order of registration.
Participant numbers Maximum 15

Exam

Examination notes Exam date: 26.11.2025

The grade for the tutorial consists of the submission of the final project (simulation model) and a 20-minute presentation of the results followed by a discussion.

Content

Aims The main objective of the tutorial is to learn about simulation as a possible tool to support decision-making in the context of planning processes (design and operating strategies of industrial energy supply systems).
Contents
  • Introduction to dynamic simulation and possible areas of application in an industrial context with reference to energy
  • Overview of suitable simulation environments and modeling approaches
  • Basics of numerical solution methods
  • Introduction to the basics of the Modelica language and the Dymola simulation environment from Dassault Systèmes
  • Introduction to the development of object-oriented model/simulation libraries
  • Physical and control fundamentals of thermo-hydraulic systems / energy systems and the relevant influencing / disturbance variables
  • Introduction to advanced simulation techniques (FMI model export, co-simulation, coupling with mathematical optimization)
  • Introduction to the systematic evaluation of results
  • Application of simulation tools to concrete case studies from production (with a focus on metal processing companies)
Previous knowledge / training Previous knowledge of production engineering, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, building services engineering and the simulation of technical systems is helpful, but is not considered a prerequisite for participation.
Skript, Tutorials All documents are provided in the Moodle course.
