*Ask a Modeler: When is the Earliest in the Design Process That Useful
Performance Simulation is Possible?*

This month Eric Flower, Software Account Executive at Willdan, replies: *"Dear
Early Bird, Where did the time go? Design evolves at such a fast pace that
decisions must often be made based on partial knowledge. Because the design
process is dynamic, every stage of the process presents its own unique
