תקציר	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.	Sensitivity Analysis-Integrated Design of Experiments (SA-DoE) combines systematic experimental planning with formal sensitivity analysis to identify which input factors most strongly influence a response, then efficiently characterises those factors' effects. By embedding sensitivity screening into the DoE workflow, experimenters avoid wasting trials on inert variables and focus resources on the factors that truly drive system behaviour — making it especially valuable in simulation studies, product engineering, and complex process optimisation.
