Abstract

Simulation belongs to one of the most time consuming phases of complex system design. It is necessary to test our model with number of parameters of the entire simulation, control mechanism and components. We test various scenarios and strategies. In this article we would like to present the methodology proposal for simulation parameters settings based on leverage points’ hierarchy developed by Donella H. Meadows to aid the simulation process.
