Simulation is an indispensable tool for the research and development in almost all fields. However, the simulation results have to be treated with caution; especially, one has to bear in mind that a very high level of complexity is hidden therein, and in many cases its detail is known only to the performer of the simulation. In the earlier part of this lecture, various basics behind simulation will be reviewed. It will be followed by the introduction of the simulation tool developed by the lecturer himself – its basic concept, modelling and other details. This will give students a rare opportunity to see what is inside a real work of simulation. Critical review of the simulation model is also what students are requested to learn.

Knowledge on transport systems will be useful in understanding this lecture. Therefore, I recommend taking "Transport Electronics" in the summer term as well.

In the latter half of this lecture series, I will introduce how simulation is used to solve one particular problem that I am interested in. You may think this is a useless sort of information -- but this is a very rare opportunity to look deep into how other person’s simulation is performed, and if you are well prepared, I am sure you will, at the end of the day, get something that you will find very useful.
