Simulation and modelling in technical education

Simulation and modelling software is the ideal preparation for practical training in the learning laboratory and offers the option of remote learning. Learning concepts can thus be supplemented and expanded, providing effective and lasting results.

Safe learning environments through simulations and modelling

Simulation and modelling in technical education refers to the use of computer-aided techniques to create digital representations of real systems, processes or scenarios. These innovative approaches can be used in lessons to try out, test or analyse theories, processes or designs. This provides a deeper understanding of complex technical concepts.

The simulation creates an interactive simulation model that can be dynamically adjusted to analyse and observe the effects of varying conditions, inputs or other variables. This enables concepts to be precisely applied, analysed and optimised.

With modelling, a system or machine can be represented or analysed in an abstract way. This helps students to better understand complex interrelationships and supports them in developing solutions for real technical problems.

Benefits of simulations and modelling

  • Immersive experience and realistic exercises through digital representation of physical training sessions
  • Optimum preparation for practical work in the learning workshop thanks to the development of digital learning solutions
  • Reduced labour, time and costs thanks to virtual environment and the opportunity to repeat content
  • Acquisition of practical skills in dealing with real software
  • Independent, personalised learning independent of location
  • Reliability and accuracy through precise simulation and modelling
  • Minimisation of safety risks, as students can experiment without serious consequences
  • Practical training and application of knowledge by simulating realistic problems and processes

The use of simulations and modelling in technical education optimises the learning process by creating a safe and realistic environment for learning technical knowledge and skills. This allows students to perfect their skills and optimally prepare themselves for practical challenges.
