DESIGN THE CONCEPTUAL MODEL
Modeling strategy: make decisions regarding how a
system will be represented in term of the capabilities
and elements.

=>find a model concept that is optimal (all objectives

of the project are met and all specific issues are
investigated)

Simulation methodology >> Design the conceptual model

 This phase contains following step:
 Step 1. Decide on continuous, discrete, or combined
modeling.
 Step 2. Determine the elements that drive the system.
 Step 3. Determine the entities that should represent
the system elements.
 Step 4. Determine the level of detail needed to
describe the system components.

Simulation methodology >> Design the conceptual model

 Step 5. Determine the graphics requirements of the
model.
 Step 6. Identify the areas that utilize special control
logic.
 Step 7. Determine how to collect statistics in the
model and communicate results to the customer.

Simulation methodology >> Design the conceptual model

Step 1. Decide on continuous, discrete, or combined modeling

In a continuous model, the system state variables

change continuously in time.

Simulation methodology >> Design the conceptual model

 in a discrete-event model, the state variables
change values at discrete points in time

=> The modeler, based on the objectives of the study

and the detail level required, should choose the
appropriate type of model for the real system.

Step 2. Determine the elements that drive the system.
Some of the elements (parts, people) in a system are
dynamic in nature (they move through the system
causing other entities to react to them in response to
some signal.
Other elements are static in (they wait for the
dynamic entities or resources to act upon them and
pull or push them through the system)

Step 3. Determine the entities that should represent
the system elements

Each simulation tool makes a lot of

available entities in order to represent the
real system components.

Step 5. Determine the Graphics Requirements
of the Model
The animation requirements of the model
are discussed by considering factors such
as animation expectations of the client,
execution speed of the animated
simulation model, use of animation as a
verification tool, use of animation as
a selling tool, ease of building the
static and dynamic animation
components, and the availability of built-in
icons in the animation library

Step 6. Identify the Areas That Utilize Special
Control Logic

Systems with multiple machines or servers

may require complex decision-making and
control logic. During this step, the modeler
discusses the best way of modeling the
complex decision-making processes in the
system.

 Step 7. collect data and interface

Collect data: standard output reports

The modeler may need to define variables,
counters, histograms, time series, pie
charts…

Communicate with users: interfaces in a

spreadsheet program to summarize the
output data.
