Summary
Currently, simulation is mainly based upon deductive analysis from the “à priori knowledge”, parameter estimation based upon measured process data and model validation. Too much concentration exists on the mechanics of building a sophisticated computer model and not enough on ensuring that the “sophisticated” model has been adequately identified, estimated and validated. Not enough transparency is provided for the user of the simulator (the specialist in the phenomenon under study). The paper will essentially point out the feedback that arises from improved process interaction through an advanced simulator architecture. Man-machine engineering aspects will show to be of crucial value.
