MOOCS for training of the employees (LLL Program)
1. MOOC: Computer -aided modeling and simulation of event-continous systems
Structure of MOOC
The MOOC is divided into three parts.
The first part of the course is dedicated to M&S with Modelica. It is structured into two parts: an introduction to the Modelica language and a project. The M&S environments used during this part of the course are DYMOLA and OpenModelica.
The second part of the course introduces control-oriented M&S with Matlab/Simulink. Apart from M&S in the Simulink environment, students learn how to perform parametrization, optimization, and linearization. Different types of control are illustrated by a three tank system.
The third part is devoted to a M&S environment called ISMA. This software tool supports a general-purpose modeling language named LISMA, which
allows describing hybrid or event-continuous systems exhibiting both continuous and discrete behaviors.
Target audience
The target audience are employers, interested in modeling and simulation, and with a background in both physics and numerical methods.
Time of study
The time required for learners (employers) to complete the online course is approximately 25 hours.
Expected learning outcomes
After studying the lessons and completing the proposed activities, students will be able to:
- Design model libraries applying the object-oriented modeling methodology.
- Develop and use model libraries in Modelica.
- Use Modelica modeling environments for editing, debugging and translating Modelica models, experimenting with the models and analyzing the simulation results.
- Model and simulate control systems in Simulink.
- Design control systems employing different types of control.
- Model hybrid systems in LISMA.
- Simulate hybrid systems in ISMA using original numerical methods and event detection algorithms.

2 MOOC: Modeling and simulation in Engineering using Modelica
Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) entitled Modeling and simulation in Engineering using Modelica that has been developed within the InMotion project, and was offered by UNED Abierta between February 15 and April 30, 2019. The platform used by UNED Abierta is edX Studio.
MOOC OBJECTIVES
Our intent in developing this MOOC is to provide, mainly through a series of videos, a gentle introduction to the design of model libraries applying the object-oriented modeling methodology, the development and use of model libraries in Modelica [1], and the use of two Modelica modeling environments: Dymola and OpenModelica.
The MOOC content consists of conceptually simple materials, selected from the two InMotion e-books on Modelica developed by UNED. This content is presented in a way that makes it accessible to a broad audience.
Target audience
The target audience are employers, interested in modeling and simulation, and with a background in both physics and numerical methods.
Time of study
The time of study required for students to complete the online course is approximately 25 hours.
Expected learning outcomes
As a result of taking this course, students should be able to:
- design model libraries applying the object-oriented modeling methodology;
- develop and use model libraries in Modelica; and
- use Modelica modeling environments for editing, debugging and translating Modelica models, experimenting with the models and analyzing the simulation results.
