Full-scale testing of large engineering systems for assessing performance could be infeasible and expensive. With the growth of advanced computing capabilities, model-based simulation plays an increasingly important role in the design of such systems. When computational models are developed, the...

As engineering systems grow in size and complexity, it is becoming increasingly difficult to assess their performance through full scale testing. Modeling and simulation fill the gap left by the lack of full scale testing for an actual use environment. Modeling and simulation-based assessment...
