Abstract

In order to conduct operations research studies on complex systems, CEA/CESTA has been using and developing a new generation of simulator. The inherent complexity of such simulations ensues from the large spectrum of physical phenomena involved. As a consequence the description of a scenario and the analysis of parametric studies are time-consuming tasks. In this paper, we illustrate how the use of modeling techniques can help users construct and interpret simulation scenarios, especially users who are not computer scientists. To that end, we present a domain-specific modeling language for operations research. Moreover its associated tool, which is deployed in a large industrial context, is introduced along with model examples.
