steady-state simulation

Steady-state simulation is a method used to analyze systems that reach a consistent, unchanging condition over time. It models how the system behaves once it has settled, without considering short-term fluctuations. For example, in a chemical plant, it predicts the ongoing production rate once all variables like temperature, pressure, and flow are stable. This approach helps engineers understand the long-term performance, efficiency, and capacity of systems, allowing them to optimize design and operation without continually tracking every transient change.
