How to determine the accuracy of simulation results?
Thread Content
Someone has asked me how to verify the correctness of the results after simulating with Aspen Plus I’m also puzzled; yes, how can it be verified? It seems like I never really thought about this issue before. There can be a significant gap between simulation and reality. So how exactly can one determine whether one’s simulation results are correct? I’m not sure what other experts think; I hope you can offer some guidance. Last edited by visavis on 2009-4-14 10:55]
As I understand it, if it’s just a simulation of a simple process, the errors won’t be very large. But for more complex processes, experimental data is generally needed to support it
It is quite necessary to verify the accuracy of the simulated results; everyone should discuss this more :)
The simplest approach is to use literature for comparison, while the most reliable method is to use experimental data for comparison
I also think that this can only be determined by comparing it with experience or actual data
Using experimental data and on-site data for verification is the most accurate approach; additionally, running the process through other software can also help identify certain errors that are not easy to spot. In short, comparing various methods is the best way to ensure accuracy.
