Abstract
Development of a system requires analysis and evaluation of safety of the system throughout each phase of concepet, manufacture, installation, operations, and maintenance. The evaluations measures are usually classified into three: calculation on paper, experiment with the real hardware, and simulation.
The simulation method, however, would be the most effective in case the theoretical calculation is found difficult, or the experiment with the actual system proved to be unpractible in terms of economy, time or morality. This paper discusses; safety evaluation to be carried out in the development of a system, breaking down the phases into preliminary analysis, system definition, system design, manufacture and test, and operations; then give a general view of various simulation methods; and finally works out a simulation method for the safety evaluation of the system.
