Abstract:
Modeling complex systems has become a common tool in many fields, especially in engineering, mathematics, military, and transport sciences. It provides a relatively inexpensive way to gather information for comprehensive and decision-making purposes. Since the size and complexity of real systems in these areas rarely allow analytical solutions to provide the information, simulation has become the method of choice. One difficulty in the engineering design processes of the designed system is to introduce this powerful tool in presence of all the design uncertainties that arise due to the early stage of the design knowing the fact that it will be useful for verification purposes and is to today widely used for that. This paper aims at given issues in order to introduce combined intention to use simulation tool for allocation purposed during the architecting process in order to help to perform decomposition and architecture tradeoffs during early stages of the design. Further, it illustrates the benefits of using simulation through an implementation of the aspects of reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) into a discrete event simulation (DES) tool in order to perform architecture tradeoffs and performances allocation based on both physical behavior and RAM considerations in the early design phase of a complex storage plant.
