The phrase "adopted to simulate a" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when describing something that has been modified or designed to mimic or replicate a certain function or behavior.
Example: "The new software was adopted to simulate a real-world environment for training purposes."
Alternatives: "designed to mimic a" or "modified to replicate a".
A groundwater numerical model was first adopted to simulate baseflow for a small semi-urban catchment (0.043 km2) located in Singapore.
Regardless of the approach adopted to simulate SoS, simulations often depend on some internal structure that imitates the surrounding environment of an SoS, delivering stimuli that are assumed to be received by the SoS to trigger its operation [31].
With the similarity, it has been adopted to simulate trophoblast cells in a number of researches [ 27, 28].
In addition, the discrete element method was also adopted to simulate its lateral pressure and a prototype was developed for the conveyor belt of a pipe belt conveyor to perform experimental verifications.
A time-dependent reinforcement corrosion model is adopted to simulate the reinforcement corrosion process in an RC pipe pile.
A porous-media fluid model is adopted to simulate both clean and biofouled netting of a cage array in waves.
A 3D lattice Boltzmann model is adopted to simulate the flow and mass transfer in a packed bed bioreactor for photo biohydrogen production.
A Q-state Potts model is adopted to simulate the austenite ferrite diffusive transformation during continuous cooling in a low carbon steel on a mesoscale with Monte Carlo method.
A front tracking method to study multi-fluid flows in which a sharp interface separates incompressible fluids of different densities and viscosities is adopted to simulate the unsteady motion of an infinitely thin premixed flame characterized by significant chemical heat release and hence thermal expansion.
