Hi. I am wondering if anyone has a good idea of the difference between qualitative analysis and qualitative simulation. I have not done any extensive search on this but it seems that these terms are typically used interchangably. Perhaps, QA refers to a goal directed process to find possible reasons (or explanations) for some phenomena, whereas QS is a data driven process used to observe the consequences of making some changes to the system?
