Phases and Steps of simulation and modeling
Phases in simulation
Phase 1: Problem Formulation: This includes problem formulation step.
Phase 2: Model Building: This includes model construction, data collection, model programming, and validation of model.
Phase 3: Running the Model: This includes experimental design, simulation runs and analysis of results.
Phase 4: Implementation: This includes documentation and implementation.
Steps of simulation
Problem formation: Identify the problem with an existing system or set requirements of a proposed system. Prepare a problem statement.
Model construction: Design the problem while taking care of the existing system factors and limitations.
Data Collection: Collect and start processing the system data. Choose input variables and create entities for the simulation process.
Model programming: Develop the model using network diagrams and verify it using various verification techniques.
Validation: Validate the model by comparing its performance under various conditions with the real system.
Design of experiment: Select an appropriate experimental design as per requirement.
Simulation run and analysis: Choose an appropriate simulation software to run the model. Perform an experiment on the model by changing the variable values to find the best solution. Induce experimental conditions on the model and observe the performance and result.
Documentation: Create a document of the model for future use, which includes objectives, assumptions, input variables and performance in detail.
Implementation: Finally, apply these results into the real-time system.
