Description
Calibration enables a computer model to simulate field conditions accurately. Telemetry data and field measurements of the system provide base data for calibration, but computer programs that automatically extract and compare pertinent data with simulated values can aid the process. Once calibrated, the model can be used with a great degree of confidence as a predictor and as a benchmark case for further analyses. The degree of accuracy to which a model should be fine-tuned is related to the complexity of the model and to the purpose of the study. The thorough knowledge of system operation and performance gained through the calibration process may be as important as the degree of accuracy of calibration, since modeling is often more concerned with changes than with absolute values.
