Reuse this capability for training. These include biological and physico-chemical systems for processing gases and water. The simulation uses models of the crew, plants in the growth chamber, gas processing systems, flow configurations, operating modes, schedules, procedures, and controllers. Components are connected together to define flow. The simulation identifies global changes in the configuration of flow paths that result from local state changes, and keeps track of related changes in pressure and flow.
Simulations can use deterministic scenarios or operate with random events.
System models are built by drag and drop from libraries. The model can be animated to support visual model validation and demonstration, and can be instrumented to support interactive data input and control during the simulation. Independent models of portions of the plant can be combined in distributed simulations. Distributed simulation can also be used to increase the scale of simulations. Discrete event simulation is dynamic simulation, modeling the time-based behavior of systems, where the intervals between time steps are usually dependent on when events occur.
