Engineering Simulation Evidence Checkpoint

Check requirements, assumptions, verification, validation, trade studies, and simple margins.

Scenario

A team must use an educational simulation to compare design options without overstating model credibility.

Question 1

Verification primarily asks:

Was the model implemented as intended?Will every real system behave identically?Which colour is best?Can assumptions be omitted?

Question 2

A predicted stress is 120 MPa and the allowable is 180 MPa. What is allowable minus predicted?

Your answerMPa

Question 3

Which is the strongest starting point for an engineering simulation?

A measurable requirementThe most colourful plotThe largest modelAn unstated assumption

Question 4

A responsible recommendation should include:

Evidence, assumptions, and a limitationOnly the preferred optionA guarantee of real-world successNo units
