Let’s say you want to model a large ship, with several subsystems (motors, etc). You may end up with 50 differential equations, and a very complex system.

This module will focus on how to book-keep all of this by dividing the system into logical subsystems, where we may need to create further subsystems etc. At each step we create sub models.
