An Introduction to System Modelling - 1. Before Building the Models

▤ Summary

There are many things to consider before approaching a system modelling software that can save you a lot of trouble and make your results more accurate. In this post I’ll outline some basic principals to system modelling that could save you a lot of trouble in the long run. One of the key qualities of a good system model is not that of the greatest detail or highest accuracy, but applicability to investigation. For example, consider modelling an engine to know the amount of fuel usage on a drive cycle at a preliminary stage of vehicle development. You may only need a torque curve, BSFC map, mass and 1D rotational inertia to roughly gauge the amount of fuel usage.
