 Process Simulation

Process simulation is a process of designing an

operational model of a process system.
Conduct various experiments with this model for
the purpose either of understanding the behavior
of the system or of evaluating alternative
strategies for the development or operation of the
system.
It has to be able to reproduce selected aspects of
the behavior of the system modelled to an
accepted degree of accuracy.
(Thome, 1993)
