Simulationsziel

A simulationsziel, or simulation target, refers to the specific objective or outcome that a simulation is designed to achieve or predict. In essence, it is the goal that the simulation process aims to fulfill. This target guides the design, development, and execution of the simulation, defining what data needs to be collected, what variables are important, and what metrics will be used to evaluate success.

The nature of a simulationsziel can vary widely depending on the field. In engineering, a simulationsziel might be to predict the structural integrity of a bridge under specific load conditions or to optimize the aerodynamic performance of an aircraft. In economics, it could be to model the impact of a new monetary policy on inflation or to forecast consumer behavior. In medicine, a simulationsziel might involve testing the efficacy of a new drug or understanding the spread of a disease.

Clearly defining the simulationsziel is crucial for the validity and usefulness of any simulation. Without a well-defined target, a simulation can become unfocused, producing irrelevant results or failing to address the intended problem. It ensures that the simulation's outputs are meaningful and can be directly compared against the desired outcome. This clarity also aids in selecting appropriate simulation models, algorithms, and input parameters.
