Document Scope
Document Scope
This NASA Technical Handbook provides technical information, clarification, examples, processes, and techniques to help institute good modeling and simulation (M&S) practices at NASA. As a companion guide to NASA-STD-7009B, Standard for Models and Simulations, this Handbook provides a broader scope of information than is included in a NASA technical standard and promotes good practices in the production, use, and consumption of NASA M&S products. NASA-STD-7009B specifies what a M&S activity shall or should do (in the requirements and recommendations). The standard does not prescribe how they are accomplished. This varies with the specific engineering discipline responsible for accomplishing the M&S activity and the size and type of project. A guidance document, which is not constrained by the requirements of a NASA technical standard, is better suited to address these additional aspects and provide necessary clarification.
