A general method for the simulation of factor structures is developed, which contains different possibilities for simulation. The generalization of the method SIMFAK shows, that it is possible to simulate factor structures of maximum likelihood method, of minres method and of alpha factor analysis. Computation results demonstrate the practicability of SIMFAK.
