Preface
System modeling and simulation is a fundamental aspect of most areas of science and engineering. This has led to the development of software packages aimed at helping speed up the process of modeling, simulation, optimization, analysis, and assessment of systems. More advanced system modeling software provide multiple ways of creating models: Models can be programmed in specialized languages, and they can be graphically constructed as block diagrams and state machines, or expressed mathematically in equation-based languages. This book is about two new software packages, called Altair Compose™ and Altair Activate™, providing all these modeling facilities. Compose is a multi-language environment for scientific computation with special emphasis on modeling, simulation, optimization, and assessment. This book will focus on the newly developed open matr
