What is preprocessing and postprocessing in reservoir simulation?

Sometimes old school reservoir simulation engineers talk about pre-/post processing. What does it mean? Preprocessing is just building the model - preparing DATA file with information (configurations; reservoir, PVT, SCAL data, wells, etc.) Postprocessing is results analysis - view the 3D. . . more
