Practical Course Simulation of Life Support Systems

What it is about

You will learn the structure, tasks and subsystems of life support systems and work with simulation tools to model, compare and evaluate systems. In the end you will be able to build a life support system in a simulation environment, evaluate configurations for a mission scenario, and analyze the behavior of material and heat flows with dynamic simulations.

What you will be able to do

• Explain the tasks of a life support system
• Show relationships between subsystems
• Build and design a life support system in a simulation
• Evaluate configurations based on simulation results

What the module consists of

• VorlesungDelivery of the theoretical foundations on tasks/functions and modelling methods
• Praktikum/ÜbungenApplying simulation tools, programming and simulation tasks for deepening
• HausaufgabenProgramming and simulation tasks with written evaluation as performance proof

Teaching method

• VorlesungConveying necessary knowledge about systems, functions and modelling methods
• Selbstständige Modellierung in ÜbungenCreating, running and analyzing simulation models for practice and deeper understanding
• Gruppendiskussionen/PräsentationenExchange and reflection of results
