Expose a set wedge onto TriX.
Develop in HC110 or your other developer of choice.
Create a characteristic curve.
Apply this curve to your digital captures.

For simulating the print: process a sheet of Brovira the way you like it to be. Obtain color and density measurements with a densitometer or photospectrometer (preferably the latter). Use these measurements to adjust your digital prints to look as close as possible to the Brovira original. Instead of the measurements, you can also match the prints visually by holding them side by side and making iterative adjustments to the digital print until you're happy.

Hello , would this characteristic curve which to be applied to photo editor is as same as to adjust the curve adjustment tool which I use at online photo editors.

Is that that simple or is there a trick I do not know ?

Thank you,

Yes.

This would be the general procedure I'd follow if I wanted to do this. Any specifics to your photo editor (online or otherwise) will depend on the specific software used and your preferences.
