Simulation-assisted root cause analysis/Evidence
Method evidence record

Simulation-assisted root cause analysis

Simulation-assisted root cause analysis (Sim-RCA) integrates computational simulation — such as discrete-event simulation, Monte Carlo methods, or finite-element analysis — into the structured root cause analysis process to diagnose the underlying causes of complex failures or defects. By running virtual experiments on a system model, investigators can test hypothetical causal pathways safely, rapidly, and at scale, without disrupting live operations or waiting for rare failure events to recur.
