Method and apparatus for simulation, and a computer product

摘要

A simulator includes a model generation/management section that generates and manages a model corresponding to a system to be simulated; a scenario generation/management section that prepares a future-forecasting scenario for verifying a state that the system does not satisfy a predetermined performance standard in future, and at the same time, prepares a design-supporting scenario for verifying a state that the system satisfies the predetermined performance standard; a simulation engine that executes a simulation corresponding to the future-forecasting scenario or the design-supporting scenario; and a simulation control section that controls a simulation corresponding to the design-supporting scenario or the future-forecasting scenario based on a result of a simulation of the future-forecasting scenario or the design-supporting scenario.
