Features: This book introduces the definition, applications, and classification of system simulation, as well as fundamental knowledge, terminology, and database knowledge related to simulation computer systems, including commonly used operating systems, programming languages, development environments, and databases for simulation applications. Building on a systematic explanation of the basic concepts, general principles, and methods of system simulation technology, the book focuses on modeling/simulation methods for continuous systems in engineering fields, including mathematical models of continuous systems, numerical integration methods for continuous system simulation, discretization of continuous systems, and simulation of stochastic control systems. It also highlights modeling/simulation of real-time simulation systems, covering the principles, methods, system composition, and analysis of typical systems for hardware-in-the-loop simulation and human-in-the-loop simulation. Additionally, it discusses the principles, standards, platform-level distributed interactive simulation systems, and applications of rapidly developing distributed simulation technology. The book explains the definition, composition, and characteristics of virtual reality (VR) technology, as well as the modeling and display principles of 3D real-time images, the modeling and display methods of virtual space sound, the principles and implementation methods of motion and force feedback, enabling readers to gain a preliminary understanding of how VR technology is applied in system simulation and how to develop various application systems. Since simulation credibility is the foundation of simulation applications, the book provides a systematic introduction to VVA (Verification, Validation, and Accreditation) technology for modeling/simulation. The final chapter briefly introduces the main functions and usage methods of the commonly used mathematical modeling/simulation tool MATLAB software package, facilitating further learning and application for readers. Each chapter is accompanied by exercises to help readers learn and master the main content of the book. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in system simulation science and technology and related disciplines, as well as a reference for graduate students and engineering professionals in relevant fields.
