Model development software

The first task was the aeation of large 3D chemical structure databases. By devising so-called fast Automatic 3D model builder, software such as the CORINA [27, 28] and CONCORD [29, 30] programs resulted in a boom in 3D database development (see Section 2.9 in this book and Chapter II, Section 7.1 in the Handbook). A subsequent step was the development of fast... 

In this section we will present some modelling developments for various forms of composites. The purpose is not to propose a calculation method - excellent computer software programs exist for that - but to show the broad strength range according to the composite structure, to underline the separate effects of fibres and matrix, and to examine the effects of some service conditions. These examples cannot be used for design calculations. 

For any application, the software used for model deployment is quite different than the software used for model development. This is because deployment software has a very different function, and thus very different reqnirements, than development software. Whereas development software requires flexibility and nser-friendliness, deployment software requires long-term stability, reliability, and accessibility to critical on-line data. The following are questions that reflect some conunon deployment software issues in a PAT project ... 

Thermal stress calculations in the five cell stack for the temperature distribution presented above were performed by Vallum (2005) using the solid modeling software ANSYS . The stack is modeled to be consisting of five cells with one air channel and gas channel in each cell. Two dimensional stress modeling was performed at six different cross-sections of the cell. The temperature in each layer obtained from the above model of Burt et al. (2005) is used as the nodal value at a single point in the corresponding layer of the model developed in ANSYS and steady state thermal analysis is done in ANSYS to re-construct a two-dimensional temperature distribution in each of the cross-sections. The reconstructed two dimensional temperature is then used for thermal stress analysis. The boundary conditions applied for calculations presented here are the bottom of the cell is fixed in v-dircction (stack direction), the node on the bottom left is fixed in x-direction (cross flow direction) and y-direction and the top part is left free to... 

A viable model-based software substrate sensor was developed, and the model proposed for its implementation was shown to adapt well for... 

The statistical models developed by Costa et al. (5) were functions only of the inputs considered statistically significant by a test performed with the software Statistica (StatSoft, v. 5.0). Since the results obtained by these models presented deviations from the rigorous model, complete models were tested. The following models were developed using the software Statistica ... 

The Total Human Exposme Risk DataBase and Advanced Simulation Environment (THERdbASE) is a data/model management system which contains total human exposure information. THERdbASE is a USEPA-sponsored modeling platform which is being developed and upgraded by the Exposure Modeling and Software Engineering Division of InfoScientific, Inc. (Butler and Engelman, 1998). 

Similar to LEER approaches, QSPR models may or may not take microspeciation into account. Microspecies are distinguished naturally if atomic descriptors take into account the protonation state of other groups. Although quite challenging to model developers, exact and complete inclusion of microspeciation rewards the programer with better pK prediction for multiprotic systems. Two commercial software... 

Operating Mannals need to be formally reviewed as fit for purpose by the supplier as they form the basis of User Procedures and User Qualification. Operating Manuals must be kept up to date with developments to the compnter systems to which they relate, and they mnst refer to specific hardware models and software versions making up the computer system being snpplied. Recommended ways of working defined by the snpplier should be verified as part of the development testing. 

The model developer who wants to couple the models (1) has to include coupler-specific interfaces in the models, and (2) has to provide the model and coupling meta-data according to standards of the coupling software. Both tasks can be time consuming, and the gain of interoperability has to be balanced against the costs of the implementation.
