Title: Analyze the 3D model, using simulation software.
Course: Modeling and Simulation Technology (21015) > Section: Evaluating Complex Systems

Analysis should include

- explaining the role of simulation as an analysis tool
- defining the analysis problem
- identifying sources of error in the simulation
- describing relationships among variables
- describing the effect of correlation on simulation results
- identifying use case for historical/empirical data
- describing the output distribution
- interpreting summary statistics
- interpreting confidence and prediction (certainty) intervals.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What types of analyses can be conducted on the model (e.g., flow, structural, stress)?
- What is the difference between destructive and nondestructive testing?
- Why is it important to know the design life cycle?
- How can an analysis using simulation software ensure the effectiveness of a design?
