APPENDIX 1: GLOSSARY OF TERMS
• Up-front Simulation: Methodology to do more simulation
(activity front-loading) and to re-use predecessor simulation
models (knowledge front-loading) as early as possible in the
product development process.
The main focus for up-font simulation within the AUTOSIM
project is CAE driven concept design and decision making
process to obtain result trends during the concept phase (fast
evaluation of different vehicle concepts).
• Validation: describes the process of determining the accuracy
that the simulation matches the behaviour of the structure or
process under investigation. Typically the process of validation
involves establishing the accuracy with which model predictions
match comparable experimental results.
• Verification: is the process of determining that the fundamental
behaviour of a simulation is consistent with the fundamental
laws of motion, energy conservation and momentum.
Verification of a model establishes that the physics of the
simulation are correct.
• Virtual Prototype: Computer-based simulation of a system or
parts thereof with a degree of realism comparable to a physical
prototype.
