Abstract
A method of accelerating a Monte Carlo (MC) simulation for a system including a first component having a first input parameter and a second component having a second input parameter. The simulation model provided includes a first component model including a first model parameter corresponding to the first input parameter and a second component model having a second model parameter corresponding to the second input parameter. A first acceleration factor for the first component and a second acceleration factor for the second component are calculated based on at least the respective number of instances. A first scaled distribution is computed from the first distribution and a second scaled distribution is computed from the second distribution based on the respective acceleration factors. The MC simulation for the system is run, wherein values for the first model parameter value and second model parameter value are obtained based on the respective scaled distributions.
