How to create One Generalized Model?

[abid ghaffar]

Dear Dr. Maarten,

Hi! I have some basic questions about simulating different scenarios for one situation. Suppose we have 10 different scenarios for the same job being done. Each scenario consists of some similarities while there are some differences. We are trying to simulate and create a model of each scenario separately. Later, we plan to combine all the 10 scenarios aka models into one generalised model that covers all the aforementioned. Based on this I have the following questions:

1. Do we need to simulate all the 10 scenarios separately or we just design one model from the beginning containing details about all of them?

2. In case we need to simulate all 10 first and later create a generalised model for them, what is the purpose of simulating these?

3. If we have to create a generalised model after individually simulating the 10 scenarios, do we combine the models that we created or do we design a new model again from scratch. In case we can combine the 10 models into one, how?

Best Regards,
