System dynamics simulation model of the port- transhipment system

Thc system dynamics mental-verbal, structural, mathematical and computer simulation models are continuous simulation models, because they are presented by the set of non-linear differential equations (level equations) and discrete simulation models as well, because they are presented by the set of linear difference equations and it is solved in the discrete time period DT, which value is determined in total accordance with "Sampling Theorem" (Shannon and Koteljnikov). Following a number of computer-laboratory researches, the system dynamics simulation models were carried out from 1991 to 2002 as under-graduate and graduate theses at the Maritime Faculty, University of Split. The aims of this paper are: to show the efficiency of this modelling approach. to give engineers and students the better "point of view" or tool for ihe non-linear dynamics models simulation, as it would improve "education processes" and to presenl an example for supporting new education quality, exactly as it is in case of The Port-Transhipment Syster (PTSS).
