Integrated Modeling of Telescopes
With increasingly complex and costly opto-mechanical systems, there is a growing need for reliable computer modeling and simulation. The field of integrated modeling, combining optics, mechanics, control engineering, and other disciplines, is the subject

Preface
Integrated modeling has been used for space applications for some time. In the period 1993–1995, the company Ball Aerospace and Communications Group pioneered use of integrated modeling for ground-based telescopes by setting up a simulation model of the Very Large Telescope of European Southern Observatory in Garching. Shortly thereafter, a team at Lund Observatory took up integrated modeling of ground-based telescopes for simulation of the proposed Euro50 telescope. Other groups have also been active within the field, for instance at European Southern Observatory
