I can't tell you precisely how it was done but I worked at a company with many different types of hardware that contained many complex configurations of FPGAs, lasers, optics, and microcontrollers, coupled to a computer and they managed to simulate it quite well for what seems like a decade. One of the scientists there was one of the few geniuses I've ever met and they managed to simulate all those devices and a sufficient amount of their variations. So I can confirm it's possible, maybe it just requires an overworked genius?

I believe that, but unless you can find a genius and/or mass-produce their work, does it help the rest of us?

[rxhernandez]

Maybe. Knowing something is possible is sufficient for enough people to give things a try.

I know I've been successful in doing so; I've never built a simulator of this magnitude but I've successfully solved difficult problems with novel solutions simply from hearing it was possible to solve them in a given manner.
