Abstract:
1. A method, in a data processing system comprising at least one processor and at least one memory for controlling a fidelity of a simulation of a system, comprising: receiving, by the data processing system, a model of the system, wherein the model of the system comprises a plurality of individual components of the system; assigning, by the data processing system, a component in the plurality of individual components to be a fidelity center, wherein assigning a component in the plurality of individual components to be a fidelity center comprises analyzing the model of the system and automatically selecting the component in the plurality of individual components to be the fidelity center based on results of the analysis and wherein the fidelity center has a highest possible associated fidelity value; assigning, by the data processing system, a fidelity value to each other component in the plurality of individual components based on an affinity of the other component to the fidelity center; and simulating, by the data processing system, the system based on assigned fidelity values to the component in the plurality of individual components.
