This term is primarily used in technical, academic, and professional contexts in both Brazil and the USA. In Brazil, especially among software engineers and researchers, the English term 'framework' is frequently retained even in Portuguese discourse due to its widespread adoption in the IT industry. In Portugal, there is a slight tendency to use more formal Portuguese alternatives like 'arcabouço' in academic literature, though 'estrutura de simulação' remains the most accessible translation.
