Simulation provides a flexible approach to analyzing business processes. Through simulation experiments various “what if” questions can be answered and redesign alternatives can be compared with respect to key performance indicators. This chapter introduces simulation as an analysis tool for business process management. After describing the characteristics of business simulation models, the pha...

In this study the feasibility of 3D FEM simulation of the orbital forming process was investigated by evaluating the simulation time. Commercial FEA software DEFORM 3D v4.0 that has an efficient computation algorithm for simulating incremental forming process was used for the simulations and the savings in computation time was determined. In order to provide reliable flow stress for the simulat...

Interoperability of Process Simulation Software — This paper discusses the impact of software interoperability in strengthening the role of industrial and academic Computer Aided Process Engineering (CAPE). The viewpoint is predominantly industrial and focused on the activity of process simulation. The paper outlines the environment within which CAPE now operates and discusses the meaning of in...

To meet the needs of plant wide dynamic process simulation of today's complex, highly interconnected chemical production plants, parallelizable numerical methods using divide and conquer strategies are considered. The large systems of di erential algebraic equations (DAE's) arising from an unit oriented modular modeling of chemical and physical processes in a chemical plant are partitioned into...

s In accordance with innovations of construction methods and robotizations at the site, construction engineers need more relevant management tools for planning and scheduling the construction process. It has become essential to apply system simulation techniques to planning and scheduling. The author has developed an simulation methodology for the construction process at building sites. The sim...

This paper presents a methodology to be employed in the whole process design phase including first and second processing. This methodology consists of a set of steps which are characterised by an independent model. This paper’s objective is to analyse the coherence between the different models and the coherence between the model and the objectives of each step. The final stage is to develop the...

Nowadays, sorption is one of the fastest growing techniques for the treatment of wastewaters, due to availability of large variety of biomaterials. A lot of experimentation has been done for finding effective biomaterials. The mechanism and effectiveness of sorption is done by comparative study of experimentation results and theoretical models. A computer tool SORPS (SORption Process Simulation...
