When evaluating a system, do I need to build or simply simulate? Edit
I have a system at hand to evaluate/assess with real data at my disposal. I decided to implement/build in order to 'test' the 'potent' of the system and the results generated. Could this be referred to IMPLEMENTATION or what I did is SIMULATION?
Is simulation a better term and posit than implementation in this case?
If you have data hat you trust and believe to be accurate there is no requirement to reproduce that data. If you decide to build on a similar scale to the previous work you are attempting to confirm. If you are building the same thing a larger scale you are scaling up and possibly implementing if you are actually building a useful (probably commercial plant.
I would use the term simulation to describe a mathematical (maybe even a non mathematical) model of the process to describe how it reacts to some sort of change in conditions - for example feed rates or composition for a chemical process. I hope this helps. I am not sure I understand your question properly.
