Abstract
After a short discussion on the parallelization of simulation software the socalled MME-structure (model — method — experiment) for simulation tasks is introduced. This study extends the well known structure of model frame and experimental frame by a third frame of methods. The structure of the methods is a hierarchical one, being the base for the parallelization of simulation tasks. Starting at a medium hierarchical level a parallelization can be realized in a model-independent manner. Examples are parameter variation, linearization at different points, model comparison, where also analytical procedures can be used. The concept was implemented within the Simulation System PARALLEL_HYBSYS on a PC based transputer system (T800).
