Modeling

Modeling and simulationSimulation pertains to the intelligence levelLevel of realityReality. So, modeling methods will adopt hierarchical referenceReference architecturesArchitecture. The dimensionsDimension of the PolytopicPolytopic RoadmapRoadmap for modeling include: Data, ModelModel, SimulationSimulation, Digital TwinDigital twin (DT) and DT of DT. The simulationSimulation levelLevel includes: Data, ModelModel, SimulationSimulation Tools and SystemSystem DesignDesign. The frames supporting live-like, 4D, and intelligentIntelligent-like, 8D, stagesStage are illustrated here. Relation between 4D frame and industry 4.0Industry 4.0 is emphasized. The modelModel based engineeringEngineering, MBE, is a referenceReference architectureArchitecture presented as an 8D frameworkFramework in developmentDevelopment.
