That&amp;rsquo;s what model calibration is all about-- finding where there are discrepancies between the model and the real world, determine WHY those discrepancies exist and correcting them. You could to this through random trial-and-error process, but in this Coffee Corner presentation, we&amp;rsquo;ll help you avoid some of the pitfalls to make your life easier.&lt;/p&gt;
