Where does the simulation pipe lead to?
Thread Content
They shall describe the simulation of start-up, operation, and the control points that must be clearly known by the operators, and explain the measures required to be taken for each detailed procedure. Does the simulation cover only start-up, but also operation and even the control points? How is this generally defined?
It’s hard to determine without context. Most likely, it’s a simulation of “start-up, operation, and control points”. Anyway, I guess it’s not that important to be exact.
They shall describe the simulation of start-up, operation and the control points which must be clearly known by the operators, and explain the measures required to be taken for each detailed procedure. Based on the entire sentence, the word \"which\" refers to start-up, operation and the control points – all of which are operations that operators need to be familiar with； It’s difficult to define clearly in terms of simulation; if there is a comma after \"start-up\", then it definitely modifies the control points. In my opinion, it should modify the control points. Please, the original poster, provide more detailed information so that everyone can understand and make judgments!
Covering: start-up, operation, and control points
It seems it should relate to operation or start-up, as the first two steps after simulate are operations, a dynamic process； When it comes to control points, it becomes a static concept. Control points should merely be the antecedent of \"which\" that follows; the use of \"the\" before control points reinforces this idea further. If this also works, then it’s not so much about control points, but rather about the methods and steps for control. \"Operation\" or \"start up\" seems to work in both cases. However, if what is being simulated are two different things, the punctuation should probably be something like ..describes simulation of startup and operation, and the control points blah blah..

I think there are two \"the\" words related to \"operation\": \"the simulation of start-up\" and \"operation of the control points\". Additionally, as mentioned on the 5th floor, there is the distinction between dynamic and static aspects; the first two terms are verbs, while the last one is a noun. I also think that \"WHICH\" is simply used to modify the control points – just my personal opinion `
Isn’t there a comma in English either? :Lol, I agree with the analysis in post 5. Also, I was wondering: should the word \"simulation\" be preceded by an \"s\" when it refers to multiple things? This post was last edited by I love rainy days on 2009-3-10 15:00]
As the old saying goes, the most fundamental truth still depends on the context. Generally, skimming through it first and then reading it in detail will reduce the number of places where one gets stuck significantly.
"They shall describe the simulation of startup, operation, and the control points that must be clearly known by the operators, and explain the measures required to be taken for each detailed procedure. " FYI....
The understanding of Little DouDou on the 3rd floor is probably quite accurate.
Grammar has been explained very clearly by Dobodou; as for the technical aspects, I’ll share my understanding. This seems to be a description of a simulation project, and for such a project, starting and stopping operations as well as the control of key points are essentially necessary elements. Just based on this, it should also involve multiple modifications
I used to remember that there was no comma in English; thanks to fellow netizens like solar and Guanyue Cangshulou for reminding me! Let’s all work together to improve our English skills and create a better English communication community.
The context before and after is mainly unrelated to this; there’s no need to require context every time a sentence is analyzed. In fact, sometimes context is needed, while other times it has absolutely nothing to do with it, right? Besides, if there is relevant context, I will definitely post it so that everyone can discuss it better. Thank you.
I agree with the analysis of Comrade Guanyue Cangshulou; it is very likely that this article is intended to introduce projects related to process or equipment simulation. Requirements are put forward regarding the aspects of simulation. If possible, a new employee should get familiar with the simulation system. The simulation of startup, operation, and control point simulation includes the latter three aspects: namely the requirements for startup (how to phrase it in a way that is convenient for starting up), operation, and control point simulation (as specified after \"which\"); everyone’s translations are already very good. What ythwgh8 said upstairs about the context has nothing to do with this; it might be relevant, but it would be easier if everyone knew what project this is about.
