Abstract:

AbstractSpectrum simulation is a useful practical and pedagogical tool. Particularly with complex samples or trace constituents, a simulation can help to understand the limits of the technique and the instrument parameters for the optimal measurement. DTSA-II, software for electron probe microanalysis, provides both easy to use and flexible tools for simulating common and less common sample geometries and materials. Analytical models based on ϕ(ρz) curves provide quick simulations of simple samples. Monte Carlo models based on electron and X-ray transport provide more sophisticated models of arbitrarily complex samples. DTSA-II provides a broad range of simulation tools in a framework with many different interchangeable physical models. In addition, DTSA-II provides tools for visualizing, comparing, manipulating, and quantifying simulated and measured spectra.

Abstract:

The Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM 1989) recommends that high school students extend their K-8 experiences with simulations and experimental probability to continue to improve their intuition and build more formal concepts of theoretical probability based on these experiences. In keeping with this idea, we use spreadsheets frequently in studying and investigating probabilistic situations with both high school students and preservice mathematics teachers. Our approach includes simulations but goes beyond the simulation process as a way of learning important concepts and principles of probability. We have found that spreadsheets are a very powerful tool for simulating probabilistic situations, not only for simple problems, such as simulating coin Ripping and die tossing, but also for rather complex problem situations. In this article, we illustrate the use of spreadsheets as a simulation tool for solving a collection of probability problems. The spreadsheet program we use is Microsoft Excel (1995), but other spreadsheet programs, such as Quattro Pro (Borland 1994), can be used with the same degree of effectiveness.

Abstract:

Abstract In engineering, it is a common desire to couple existing simulation tools together into one big system by passing information from subsystems as parameters into the subsystems under influence. As executed at fixed time points, this data exchange gives the global method a strong explicit component. Globally, such an explicit co-simulation schemes exchange time step can be seen as a step of an one-step method which is explicit in some solution components. Exploiting this structure, we give a convergence proof for such schemes. As flows of conserved quantities are passed across subsystem boundaries, it is not ensured that system-wide balances are fulfilled: the system is not solved as one single equation system. These balance errors can accumulate and make simulation results inaccurate. Use of higher-order extrapolation in exchanged data can reduce this problem but cannot solve it. The remaining balance error has been handled in past work by recontributing it to the input signal in next coupling time step, a technique labeled balance correction methods. Convergence for that method is proven. Further, the lack of stability for co-simulation schemes with and without balance correction is stated.

Abstract:

As a recognized third-generation neural network, the spiking neural network has high concurrency and complexity. Although the degree of research is still far from the previous generation of neural networks, spiking neural networks are excellent in performance and energy consumption. In this paper, the common spiking neural network simulation tools are reviewed. The most frequently used and mentioned tools are NEURON, NEST, and BRAIN. NEURON is more suitable for simulation based on biological applications, pays more attention to biological characteristics, and can support large-scale network simulation. Examples used in the official documentation are neural simulations of invertebrates and mammals. Large heterogeneous networks of point neurons or neurons with a few compartments are frequently simulated using NEST. In contrast to models that concentrate on the specific morphological and biophysical characteristics of individual neurons, NEST is appropriate for those that emphasize the dynamics, size, and structure of the nervous system. Brian was originally designed for research and teaching and is well suited as a teaching and presentation tool for simulating and observing the effects of different parameters for classical neural network projects such as picture classification. In addition, CSIM, SPLIT, SPINNAKER, and other tools also have their merits, but due to the low frequency of relevant references and lack of universality, this study will not give a detailed introduction.

Abstract:

Unlike current silicon-based photovoltaic technology, the development of last-generation thin-film solar cells has been marked by groundbreaking advancements in new materials and novel structures to increase performance and lower costs. However, physically building each new proposal to evaluate the device’s efficiency can involve unnecessary effort and time. Numerical simulation tools provide a solution by allowing researchers to predict and optimize solar cell performance without physical testing. This paper reviews thirteen of the main numerical simulation tools for thin-film solar cells, including SCAPS, AMPS, AFORS-HET, ASPIN3, GPVDM, SESAME, SILVACO, SENTAURUS, and ADEPT. This review evaluates each tool’s features, modeling methods, numerical approaches, and application contexts. The findings reveal notable differences in material modeling, numerical accuracy, cost, and accessibility among the tools. Each tool’s strengths and limitations in simulating thin-film solar cells are highlighted. This study emphasizes the necessity of selecting suitable simulation tools based on specific research requirements. It provides a comparative analysis to assist researchers in choosing the most effective software for optimizing thin-film solar cells, contributing to advancements in photovoltaic technology.

Abstract:

In this paper, we evaluate the performance of Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol by experimental and simulation results. The experiments are carried out by using our implemented testbed and the simulations by using ns-2 simulator. We also designed and implemented a new interface for the ad-hoc network testbed in order to make more easier the experiments. The comparison between experimental and simulation results shows that for the same parameters set, in the simulation we did not notice any packet loss. On the other hand, in the experiments we experienced packet loss because of the environment effects and traffic interference.

Abstract:

In pursuit of more efficient and cost-effective measurement campaigns, the railway industry is embracing the prospect of virtual validation based on simulations. The primary obstacle lies in the need for noise simulation tools capable of accurately replicating complex sources, installation effects, noise propagation, ground reflection and, for some cases, the diffraction in the different train surfaces. This paper presents insights derived from European project Shift2Rail S2R-CFM-CCA-01-2019 Energy and Noise & Vibration WP6, concentrating on the validation and enhancement of two exterior noise simulation tools, tailored for railway applications. The paper covers four reference cases, simulating exterior noise at standstill with diverse noise sources and varying source locations and noise emission (i.e. electrical noise, cooling, etc.). A correlation with previously conducted measurements at typical receiver locations (7.5 meters from the track centerline) is carried out. The measurements were conducted in a "controlled" configuration, isolating as much as possible the analyzed noise source and gathering all the needed information about the ground and train geometry. The evaluation between measurements and simulations is done against a global and a 1/3rd octave band criteria with successful results. Finally, key features essential for achieving more accurate simulations are listed.

Abstract:

The article supports the need for training techniques for neural network computer simulations in a spreadsheet context. Their use in simulating artificial neural networks is systematically reviewed. The authors distinguish between fundamental methods for addressing the issue of network computer simulation training in the spreadsheet environment, joint application of spreadsheets and tools for neural network simulation, application of third-party add-ins to spreadsheets, development of macros using embedded languages of spreadsheets, use of standard spreadsheet add-ins for non-linear optimization, creation of neural networks in the spreadsheet environment without add-ins, and On the article, methods for creating neural network models in Google Sheets, a cloud-based spreadsheet, are discussed. The classification of multidimensional data presented in R. A. Fisher's "The Use of Multiple Measurements in Taxonomic Problems" served as the model's primary inspiration. Discussed are various idiosyncrasies of data selection as well as Edgar Anderson's participation in the 1920s and 1930s data preparation and collection. The approach of multi-dimensional data display in the form of an ideograph, created by Anderson and regarded as one of the first effective methods of data visualization, is discussed here.

Abstract:

Handheld devices are becoming more and more popular in education. Educational simulation and modelling are not new soil, but for handhelds they are still much under explored. Due to the difficulties teachers usually face in developing computer models and simulations and the lack of adequate tools for building them, we developed an authoring-tool for handheld educational simulation and modelling, called Sim-H (SIMulation for Handhelds). Sim-H is made by several modules each one relating to a type of simulation application that can be used in an educational context. One of these modules, that we describe thoroughly herein, is the Handheld Model Editor, a modelling tool for handheld devices that can be used to build models to use as such or as the core of educational handheld simulations.

Abstract:

The increasing complexity of advanced display systems places increased importance on simulation tools. Display simulation tools allow the development of displays with the desired balance of image quality and end cost while reducing the time and cost otherwise associated with iterative testing of physical prototypes. In addition, simulation offers the advantage of permitting demonstration of display systems to targeted users and decision makers early in the display design cycle, allowing for more feedback in the design process. A new display simulation tool is described in this paper with the capability of simulating advanced electronic stereoscopic displays. To illustrate the use of this tool, an evaluation of a simulated stereoscopic head-mounted display is reported. Surgeons viewed stereoscopic laparoscopic imagery and rated the acceptability of display gray scale, resolution, and field of view. Clear preferences were seen for levels of each of these parameters. Simulations such as the one described in this report play an invaluable role in defining acceptable design parameters prior to commitment to display production.

Abstract:

The relation between games and simulations can be profitably investigated by combining ontological tools and recent neurological findings. Neurology shows that simulations are connected to fiction or to reality by a suspension of disbelief or alternatively a suspension of belief, and ontological categories of Mimesis (simulation of an event or an object) and Catharsis (simulation of the experience of an event or object) lead to a classification of ludic simulations, which allow to discover some of their hidden properties. This paper raises some new issues for the field, like Embodied Simulation, Simulations of Depth and of Surface, the Ontological and the Epistemological Barrier, the Simulation Story, and the K-Rule. Finally, some wittgensteinian tools (semantic, syntactic, infra-semantic, and super-syntactic) are used in order to suggest how to transform a simulation into a ludic simulation.

Abstract:

Simulation tools are playing an increasingly important role in materials science and engineering and beyond their well established importance in research and development, these tools have a significant pedagogical potential. We describe a set of online simulation tools and learning modules designed to help students explore important concepts in materials science where hands-on activities with high-fidelity simulations can provide insight not easily acquired otherwise. The online tools, which involve density functional theory and molecular dynamics simulations, have been designed with non-expert end-users in mind and only a few clicks are required to perform most simulations, yet they are powered by research-grade codes and expert users can access advanced options. All tools and modules are available for online simulation in nanoHUB.org and access is open and free of charge. Importantly, instructors and students do not need to download or install any software. The learning modules cover a range of topics from electronic structure of crystals and doping, plastic deformation in metals, and physical properties of polymers. These modules have been used in several core undergraduate courses at Purdue’s School of Materials Engineering, they are self contained, and are easy to incorporate into existing classes.

Abstract:

The demands on the productivity and robustness of metal casting processes for high quality components are continuously increasing. Moreover, the financial considerations necessitate meticulous and reliable planning of the entire casting process before it is actually put into practice. A holistic approach to perform cradle to grave analysis of cast products is simulation-based metal casting. This method allows engineers to model, verify, and validate the process followed by its optimization and performance prediction in virtual reality. This paper provides insights on state of the art in simulation-based metal casting with reference to some case studies. Casting simulations software, mathematical models and solution methods, and casting process simulation together with the results obtained are clearly explained. The current practices revealed extensive utilization of simulation packages for defect minimization, yield maximization, and improved quality. The ongoing research on integration of casting simulations with mechanical performance simulations makes it possible to analyze the serviceability of cast parts. The reliability of cast part in service with dynamic loading of varying thermal and mechanical load cycles can be predicted through this integration. However, more rigorous work is needed in this area, particularly by developing the reliability prediction modules embedded in advanced simulation tools.

Abstract:

Simulation tools are playing an increasingly important role behind advances in the field of systems biology. However, the current generation of biological science students has either little or no experience with such tools. As such, this educational glitch is limiting both the potential use of such tools as well as the potential for tighter cooperation between the designers and users. Although some simulation tool producers encourage their use in teaching, little attempt has hitherto been made to analyze and discuss their suitability as an educational tool for noncomputing science students. In general, today's simulation tools assume that the user has a stronger mathematical and computing background than that which is found in most biological science curricula, thus making the introduction of such tools a considerable pedagogical challenge. This paper provides an evaluation of the pedagogical attributes of existing simulation tools for cell signal transduction based on Cognitive Load theory. Further, design recommendations for an improved educational simulation tool are provided. The study is based on simulation tools for cell signal transduction. However, the discussions are relevant to a broader biological simulation tool set.

Zur Erstellung entsprechender Modelle sind moderne flexible Mehrkörpersimulationsprogramme besonders geeignet. Im Rahmen dieses Beitrags wird die Simulationsumgebung MORe präsentiert, die sich unter anderem durch ihre Benutzerfreundlichkeit und ihre Recheneffizienz auszeichnet. Zudem ist die Berücksichtigung von Effekten möglich, die bisher im industriellen Umfeld kaum betrachtet wurden, wie beispielsweise Dämpfung. &nbsp; The digital twin is becoming increasingly important for the development of new machine generations and for process parallel simulations. Modern flexible multi-body simulation programs are particularly suitable for creating the relevant models. In this paper, the simulation environment MORe is presented, which is characterized by its user-friendliness and its computational efficiency. Furthermore, it is possible to study effects such as damping, which have hardly been considered in industrial environments so far.

Abstract:

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to encourage the use of simulations early in a semester, rather than as a course capstone activity, in an effort to utilize simulations as a foundational experience. The intent is to support teaching and learning, as opposed to using simulations as a capstone assignment or assessment tool.Design/methodology/approachA comprehensive literature review synthesizing higher education business simulation effectivity and evaluation methods provides support for the analysis of 60 undergraduate supply chain management students and 96 surveys conducted over two years. The research question explores effectiveness based on the point of time during a semester a simulation was used.FindingsThe analysis of simulation effectiveness, based on the impact of course enjoyment and assistance with learning key course competencies, showed no significant differences for simulations used early in a semester or as an end-of-semester capstone event.Practical implicationsSimulations are effective tools regardless of when they are employed, but there may be significant benefits to using a simulation early in a semester by capitalizing on the tool’s inherent experiential learning functionality, active learning theory and the Kolb Experiential Learning Cycle. Early use of simulations provides common student experiences and creates a foundation for educators to develop a deeper understanding of course concepts. Additional instructor effort is needed to develop external, course specific student work to supplement and enhance the simulation experience. Early use also creates post-simulation debriefing benefits that may be precluded by the end-of-semester simulation events.Originality/valueEvidence suggests that simulations are primarily utilized as course capstone events and/or serve as comprehensive tools to integrate/assess a semester’s worth of conceptual learning. This work fills a gap in the research concerning time frames within a semester when simulations are traditionally employed, presenting a paradigm shift toward early utilization.

Abstract:

The support stiffness model and the stiffness tuning technique are applied to a practical situation. The support stiffness model is integrated with finite element analysis (FEA) to simulate the rocking vibration mode. The support stiffness of a machining center prototype is calculated based on the support stiffness model. The stiffness tuning technique is used to determine the placement of support structures in the simulation. The calculated support stiffness is integrated into a three dimensional model as springs. Rocking vibration modes are obtained from simulations by using the support stiffness model. To compare the results, a simulation without the support stiffness model is conducted. An experiment is also conducted on the same machining center that is used in the simulation. Without the support stiffness model, the difference between the experimental and simulation natural frequencies was above 19%. In contrast, the difference is under 10% when the support stiffness model is included. The experimental and the simulation results were in good agreement with respect to the rocking vibration modes. These results demonstrate that incorporating the support stiffness model into finite element analysis increases the calculation accuracy of the rocking-vibration-mode natural frequencies. Consequently, the support stiffness model and the stiffness tuning technique are effective for designing the support systems of machine tools.

Abstract:

In today’s era of modernity and the appearance of new knowledge-construction approaches supported by technological tools such as A.I., various instruments contribute to enhancing educational quality like GeoGebra, an open-source software with extensive capabilities for simulations. This research established three objectives, all of which are answered in its conclusions. The study focused on simulating magnetic fields with predefined geometric shapes, analyzed using mathematical principles. Computational simulation was the primary methodology, involving the implementation of Ampere’s law, Biot-Savart law, and electromagnetism, as well as their applications in solenoids and toroids. The simulations were developed using GeoGebra’s virtual simulation tools and Java Script application. As a result, a functional simulation was created to model the behavior of a normally closed solenoid valve, allowing manipulation of parameters such as radius, length, number of turns, diameter and current intensity. Similarly, a toroidal transformer simulation was developed, enabling adjustments to coil count, toroidal surface area, voltage, primary and secondary toroids to control each parameter in the respective model. The discussion highlights that similar applications have been successfully developed by other researchers, demonstrating their effectiveness in supporting university students’ learning. The study concludes that simulations significantly strengthen foundational physics knowledge in engineering education.

Abstract:

Power electronic circuit simulation today has become increasingly more demanding in both the speed and accuracy. Whilst almost every simulator has its own advantages and disadvantages, co-simulations are becoming more prevalent. This paper provides an overview of the co-simulation capabilities of device-level circuit simulators. More specifically, a listing of device-level simulators with their salient features are compared and contrasted. The co-simulation interfaces between several simulation tools are discussed. A case study is presented to demonstrate the co-simulation between a device-level simulator (PSIM) interfacing a system-level simulator (Simulink), and a finite element simulation tool (FLUX). Results demonstrate the necessity and convenience as well as the drawbacks of such a comprehensive simulation.

Abstract:

Agent-based models (ABMs) are one of the most effective and successful methods for analyzing real-world complex systems by investigating how modeling interactions on the individual level (i.e., micro-level) leads to the understanding of emergent phenomena on the system level (i.e., macro-level). ABMs represent an interdisciplinary approach to examining complex systems, and the heterogeneous background of ABM users demands comprehensive, easy-to-use, and efficient environments to develop ABM simulations. Currently, many tools, frameworks, and libraries exist, each with its characteristics and objectives. This article aims to guide newcomers in the jungle of ABM tools toward choosing the right tool for their skills and needs. This work proposes a thorough overview of open-source general-purpose ABM tools and offers a comparison from a two-fold perspective. We first describe an off-the-shelf evaluation by considering each ABM tool’s features, ease of use, and efficiency according to its authors. Then, we provide a hands-on evaluation of some ABM tools by judging the effort required in developing and running four ABM models and the obtained performance.

Abstract:

Abstract Light via our eyes influences visual performance, visual comfort and visual experience, but also affects several health related, non-image-forming (NIF) responses. New metrics have been developed to quantify the NIF effects of light. In order to incorporate these in lighting design practice, simulation tools are required that are able to process information about the spectral distribution of light sources and materials. However, most of the tools currently used for daylight and electric light simulations simplify the spectrum into RGB (Red, Green, Blue) colour values. This paper presents an overview of the currently used programs for simulating the NIF effects of light in building design and discusses the possibility of using existing spectral rendering software as an alternative. A review of literature shows that mostly Radiance or Radiance-based programs have been used so far, but new user-friendly tools could employ existing spectral rendering tools. As the NIF effects of light gain greater importance in lighting design, new simulation workflows are needed. This paper aims to support the development of future workflows by presenting the current state-of-the-art.

Abstract:

Chemical and oil processes are intrinsically sources of potential hazards. Although traditional qualitative hazard identification methods are simple, systematic, and flexible, such methodologies present limitations related to the inherent subjectivity, dependence on the team’s level of experience, and widespread time consumption of the members involved. In this context, the present work aims to develop a systematic way to use computational modeling and simulation tools for hazard identification. After extensive literature review, the present work proposes a methodology based on the association of the main points of previous works, with new contributions regarding the preparation for the simulations and the characterization of the minimum set of process variables that can enable appropriate interpretation of the results. The propene polymerization process (LIPP-SHAC process) was used as a case study to illustrate the proposed procedure. The paper explores how the model can be adapted for safety analyses and simulations for different hazard scenarios. The results obtained with different models are discussed and compared to those obtained with a traditional hazard identification approach to discuss how computational process modeling and simulation tools can sum to heuristic analysis. In conclusion, the use of simulations complementing the human-based approach can indeed enhance the understanding of mechanisms of hazardous scenarios, lessen conservative decision-making, and avoid overlooking device failures that can pose a severe hazard to the process.

Abstract:

There is a growing international interest in using coupled, multidisciplinary computer simulations for a variety of purposes, including nuclear reactor safety analysis. Reactor behaviour can be modeled using a suite of computer programs simulating phenomena or predicting parameters that can be categorized into disciplines such as Thermalhydraulics, Neutronics, Fuel, Fuel Channels, Fission Product Release and Transport, Containment and Atmospheric Dispersion, and Severe Accident Analysis. Traditionally, simulations used for safety analysis individually addressed only the behaviour within a single discipline, based upon static input data from other simulation programs. The limitation of using a suite of stand-alone simulations is that phenomenological interdependencies or temporal feedback between the parameters calculated within individual simulations cannot be adequately captured. To remove this shortcoming, multiple computer simulations for different disciplines must exchange data during runtime to address these interdependencies. This article describes the concept of a new framework, which we refer to as the “Backbone,” to provide the necessary runtime exchange of data. The Backbone, currently under development at AECL for a preliminary feasibility study, is a hybrid design using features taken from the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), a standard defined by the Object Management Group, and the Message Passing Interface (MPI), a standard developed by a group of researchers from academia and industry. Both have well-tested and efficient implementations, including some that are freely available under the GNU public licenses. The CORBA component enables individual programs written in different languages and running on different platforms within a network to exchange data with each other, thus behaving like a single application. MPI provides the process-to-process intercommunication between these programs. This paper outlines the different CORBA and MPI configurations examined to date, as well as the preliminary configuration selected for coupling 2 existing safety analysis programs used for modeling thermal–mechanical fuel behavior and fission product behavior respectively. In addition, preliminary work in hosting both the Backbone and the associated safety analysis programs in a cluster environment are discussed.

Abstract:

Abstract An important aspect of the simulation modelling process is sensitivity analysis. In this process, agent-based simulations often require analysis of structurally different parameter specifications - the parameters can be represented as objects and the object-oriented simulation configuration leads to nesting of simulation parameters. The nested parameters are naturally represented as a tree rather than a flat structure. The standard tools supporting multi-agent simulations only allow only the representation of the parameter space as a Cartesian product of possible parameter values. Consequently, their application for the required tree representation is limited. In this paper an approach to tree parameter space representation is introduced with an XML-based language. Furthermore, we propose a set of tools that allows one to manage parameterization of the simulation experiment independently of the simulation model.
