Abstract: "This book enables those working in modeling and simulation, to look at best practices from various disciplines, so that project leaders, managers, and engineers, can apply the non-technical and technical best practices to their work. A case example runs throughout the book, showing the modeling of a refrigerator cooling system. This reveals mistakes that can be made, and explains how to avoid them by using a step-by-step process for the model building process. The aim of the book is to bring answers to those questions in a synthetic and transversal manner, so that future challenges are not seen as a threat, but as an opportunity to create better designs."--Provided by publisher
