Computer Models and Virtual Testing:
Computer Models and Virtual Testing are nothing more than tools which are used
to build things more efficiently, economically, eliminate errors and costly
mistakes. It also speeds the execution of building things. Actually such tools can be
the decisive factor between a project is doable or out of reach.
So our job as analysts is to simplify "Computer Models and Virtual Testing" so
the common man would understand and see the benefits of such tools.
Hollywood and moviemakers use "Computer Models and Virtual Testing" to make-believe
of things such as the futuristic existence of galaxies, plants, buildings, war equipments and spaceships
as shown in the "Star Wars" movies.
We need to cover the following:
What is a Model?
What is Visual or Actual Model?
What is Virtual Model?
What are the benefits of using Virtual Models?
What is Virtual Testing?
What are benefits of using Virtual Testing?
How would Egypt and its government and people use "Computer Models and Virtual Testing"?
What is a Model?
A Model is a three-dimensional representation of a person or thing or of a proposed structure, typically on a smaller scale than the original.
What is Visual or Actual Model?
"Actual" means: existing and not merely potential or possible. The Visual or Actual model can be very much seen with the naked eye or visual.
What is Virtual Model?
"Virtual" means: almost or nearly as described, but not completely or according to strict definition.
In computer terms: Virtual means it only exists in the computer memory as bits or pixels in the case of images.
Looking at the "Computer Models and Virtual Testing" image, the actual or the
visual model of the fighting jet is transformed by the help of the camera and
the computer to be stored in the computer's memory or the jet image became a virtual
object. The jet image only exists in the computer memory.
What are the benefits of using Virtual Models?
Once the jet image is loaded in the computer memory, the sky is the limited what can be done
with the image. In the "Computer Models and Virtual Testing" image has five different jet images.
We may conclude that once the building of a computer model of anything is completed,
then the sky is limit we can do with such virtual model.
What is Virtual Testing?
Testing virtual object is bit complicated based on the type of model, complexity
of the model and test types.
What are benefits of using Virtual Testing?

Let us look at Burj Dubai image.
Building a virtual model of the project would determine if the project is doable.
We would be able to test the model on the following:
• Earthquake
• Different structures
• Landslide
• Flooding
• Wend
• Sun ray
• Weather - heat
• Military attack
• ... etc
Such tests depends on the software used to test the model, but regardless
of software, a good estimate on the structure, the size and the cost can
be calculated without spending a single penny on the actual structure
or even starting the foundation.

How would Egypt and its government and people use "Computer Models and Virtual Testing"?
Egyptians can use such tools to:
Help Think-tanks with jobs, proposals and studies
Estimate projects
Even building a virtual ministry as a model and test possible issues or problems.
The saving in term of time, effort and cost is definitely worth the investment spent on having a "Computer Models and Virtual Testing" System.
