Credibility Analysis of a Tether Net Simulation System

Abstract:

Simulation is an important tool for studying the existing and out-coming techniques, and in the meantime there exists disbelief in simulation verification all the time. As credibility is the key in simulation fidelity study, it is important to give an all-round discussion of the credibility of simulation systems themselves. A technique is described for constructing a formalized framework of credibility analysis in simulation systems, on the basis of which the practical method is put forward. The method can be applied to study unexpected or inaccurate simulation results. Following this, the method is applied in a tether-net simulation system to verify the usefulness of the approach proposed. The results of evaluating are discussed.
