There is necessarily the study of certain points on the question, for example: Simulation versus model, History, Data preparation, Types, Visualization, Computer Simulation in Science, Computer simulation in practical contexts, technical Model calibration and so on, to bypass the more fully the subject.

Reproducibility is “the variation in the average of the measurements made by different appraisers using the same measuring instrument when measuring the identical characteristic on the same part”(AAIG, 2002)
AAIG (Automotive Industry Action Group). (2002) Measurement systems analysis reference manual, Grays Essex, Carwin Ltd., United Kingdom, 225p.
Reproducibility is regarded as one of the foundations of the entire scientific method, a benchmark upon which the reliability of an experiment can be tested.
The basic principle is that, for any research program, an independent researcher should be able to replicate the experiment, under the same conditions, and achieve the same results.
This gives a good guide to whether there were any inherent flaws within the experiment and ensures that the researcher paid due diligence to the process of experimental design.
A replication study ensures that the researcher constructs a valid and reliable methodology and analysis.
