However, the technology uses an established modelling process, which makes it very difficult to adapt to changing product requirements.
The work reported in this paper demonstrates that a modelling process that makes use of mainstream computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes is feasible.
In the final interview (n = 6), the participants stated that the use of SD had contributed to an explicit description of stroke care and that the modelling process had made tacit knowledge more evident.
While our framework is first and foremost mathematical, it can be mostly used via a graphical user interface that aims at making the modelling process as intuitive as possible so that modellers can focus on the few equations that require a fine tuning.
However, when the variable is measured at the patient level either additional decisions have to be made in the modelling process as to in which sub-model the variable should be included or some model selection algorithm has to be invoked.
Manufacturing requirements impose significant properties on HMS making the modelling process of HMS a complex and difficult task.
In reality, random errors are unlikely to occur at a fixed rate and the introduction of set levels of error in this study was done to simplify the modelling process, with no attempt being made to represent systematic failures (which may have been possible by simulating age heaping or more random degrees of misreporting).
The main reason for dichotomizing the Ashworth scale was to make possible the modelling process in which we determine the number of age intervals and their corresponding endpoints.
This section summarizes the key assumptions made in the modelling process, their potential influence on results, and possibilities to relax the assumptions in future work.
The advances in computer science and computational algorithms for process modelling, process simulation, numerical methods and design/synthesis algorithms, makes it advantageous and helpful to employ computer-aided modelling systems and tools for integrated process analysis.
