2. A computational approach where complex systems are broken down into smaller, self-contained functional units that interact with each other
Modular simulation allows researchers to focus on individual components while maintaining system-level interactions.
A simulação modular permite que pesquisadores foquem em componentes individuais mantendo as interações em nível de sistema.
3. A method used in software engineering and systems design to verify and validate discrete components independently before integration
The team implemented modular simulation to identify bugs in each module before the final system integration.

The term 'modular simulation' is primarily technical and widely used in Brazilian and Portuguese engineering, software development, and scientific research communities. In Brazil, it has gained prominence with the growth of the tech industry in São Paulo and the oil & gas sector in Rio de Janeiro. This term reflects the modern engineering philosophy of breaking down complex systems into manageable, reusable components—a practice especially valued in agile development and Industry 4.0 initiatives in both Brazil and Portugal.
