Σύνοψη	Simulation-assisted fractional factorial design (SA-FFD) combines the statistical efficiency of fractional factorial experimentation with computerized simulation models to screen and estimate factor effects when physical experiments are too costly, hazardous, or time-consuming. A carefully chosen subset of factor-level combinations — the fractional factorial array — is executed inside a validated simulation model instead of (or alongside) a real process, dramatically reducing resource requirements while preserving the ability to identify main effects and low-order interactions.	Simulation-assisted design of experiments (SA-DoE) integrates computational simulation tools — such as finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), or discrete-event simulation — with classical DoE principles to systematically explore the factor space of a system. Rather than running costly or hazardous physical trials, researchers execute a structured set of virtual experiments across selected factor combinations, then fit a surrogate model to the simulation outputs to understand main effects, interactions, and optimal settings.
