Defining the Engineering Task
Establishes how to solve the engineering task using decision-supporting methods.
Includes physical tests or numerical simulations as potential methods.
Emphasizes balancing methods by considering risks and economic factors.
Criticality of M&S
Evaluates the risk associated with using simulation results in decision-making.
Incorporates standards like ASME VV40 for classification of M&S criticality.
Defines M&S criticality based on decision consequences and influences.
Risk Analysis and Classification
Combines M&S failure influences with engineering decision criticality for classification.
Applies FMEA methods for assessing severity of potential risks.
Highlights that risks vary based on application-specific factors.
Planning and Documentation
Establishes a documented plan on methods to be used and roles involved.
Includes definitions of limitations and boundary conditions for tasks.
Mandates agreement with stakeholders on approaches and timelines.
Simulation vs. Physical Testing
Compares risks of simulations and physical tests to determine equivalence.
Factors include time, cost, re-usability of results, and perspective on risk.
If risks are comparable, faster or cheaper methods may be preferred.
