Computer-aided design is based on computer simulators, whereas computer simulators are based on process modeling. The basic terms, such as modeling, simulation, and design, are dened in Table 5.1. Modeling is the procedure of translating the physical laws of a process to mathematical equations to analyze or design the process. Simulation is the appropriate software, which predicts the real performance of a process. It is based on mathematical modeling plus the appropriate graphics interface in a computer environment. Design is a procedure of sizing and rating a process in order to achieve specic goals, such as economic production, product quality, and protection of the environment.
