Concept
Simulation
A model-based way to test possible futures, interventions, operational scenarios, and system behaviours.
Position in the Trusted Data Framework
Simulation
Living Graph View
Simulation in the concept network
Drag nodes to adjust the view, double-click a node to expand its neighbourhood, and right-click a node to hide it while preserving the exploration context.
Relationship Matrix
Simulation as a network node
Requires representations of the system being simulated.
Uses scenarios to define assumptions and possible futures.
Helps decision makers test options before acting.
Concept Relationships
How Simulation works with other concepts
Requires representations of the system being simulated.
Uses scenarios to define assumptions and possible futures.
Helps decision makers test options before acting.
Definition
Simulation uses representations, assumptions, data, and models to explore what could happen under different conditions.
Role in the Trusted Data Framework
Acts as decision support, especially in digital twin and infrastructure contexts.
Practical Examples
- Transport scenario
- Energy demand model
- Flood simulation
- Freedo scenario planning
Case Study Signals
These are reference programmes used to test the framework, not client credentials.
Consulting Questions
- What problem does this concept help diagnose in the client environment?
- Which upstream concepts must be in place before this concept becomes reliable?
- What evidence would prove that this concept is working in practice?
