Simulation and modeling in technical education refers to the use of computer-aided technologies for digitally representing real systems, processes or scenarios. These innovative approaches can be used in the classroom to try out, test or analyze theories, processes and designs. It provides a deeper understanding of complex technical concepts.
The simulation creates an interactive simulation model that can be dynamically adjusted to investigate and observe the effects of varying conditions, inputs or other variables. This allows concepts to be precisely applied, analyzed and optimized.
Modeling makes it possible to represent and analyze a system or machine in an abstract way. This helps learners better understand complex relationships and offers them support in developing solutions to real technical problems.
The use of simulations and modeling in technical education optimizes the learning process by creating a safe and realistic environment for learning technical knowledge and skills. This enables learners to perfect their skills and prepare themselves in the best possible way for practical challenges.
Festo's simulation and modeling software enables the best possible preparation for practical challenges.
