I wonder about the cost effectiveness of simulation vs actual baking. Time taken for it to "run" might be about the same. Power usage might be a bit higher for a real oven. Worker's time use could be much worse for the simulation because of the tedious details of setting up the geometry, materials, mesh(?) etc. That's a problem with traditional FEA for engineering, but in typical engineering applications, making a real prototype is very expensive, so simulation has an advantage. Who would use this simulation instead of a real oven, or a real oven with a video camera if you're generating animations.
