1. A device for physical system simulation, the device comprising:
a memory configured to store a simulation of a physical system; and
one or more processors configured to:
generate initial simulation data by providing first sets of first values of first input parameters to the simulation, each set of the first sets indicating a first value of each of the first input parameters;
develop at least one surrogate model based on the initial simulation data;
select second input parameters from the first input parameters based on the at least one surrogate model, wherein a count of the second input parameters is less than a count of the first input parameters;
generate second simulation data by providing second sets of second values of the second input parameters to the simulation, each set of the second sets indicating a second value of each of the second input parameters, wherein second particular input parameters are predetermined, and wherein the second simulation data is further based on second particular values of the second particular input parameters;
develop at least a second surrogate model based on the second simulation data;
receive sensor data during testing of the physical system from one or more sensors configured to monitor the physical system, wherein at least one of the one or more sensors is proximate to the physical system; and
update the simulation based on the sensor data.
