Holistic Design Analysis

Systems engineering design analyses employed to assess time-dependent processes are invariably supported by fragmented simulation modelling tools. Mapping the data used can remove the fragmentation that exists between different engineering data sets. The data mapping approach explained herein will allow appropriate models to be either constructed or selected, which ensures good data connectivity between whatever analytical processes are employed. Within simulation models the formulae and equations use a number of parameters and variables. This research investigates the tools and methods that use those parameters and variables relevant to product effectiveness and worth, which will identify an appropriate data mapping approach.
