Simulation Systems
Simulation systems are computational models that replicate the behavior of real-world systems, allowing organizations to test decisions, scenarios, and interventions before acting on the physical system.
Simulation lets you experience the problem before you change the real system. It is the difference between guessing and testing.
Types of Simulation
- Digital twins — a live model of a specific physical asset or system
- Discrete-event simulation — modeling flows of events through a process
- Agent-based simulation — modeling autonomous actors and their interactions
- Monte Carlo simulation — sampling many scenarios to estimate probability distributions
VLTHRLAB's Application
VLTHRLAB uses simulation across its research. The MAD system uses digital twin simulation to validate maintenance strategies, achieving 72% downtime reduction and 6x lower maintenance costs in simulation runs.
