When it comes to simulation, we talk about forward Libor rate, and this value depends on the measure we choose. Under the single curve assumption, textbooks usually use the fact that there is a non-arbitrage relation between forward libor and bonds to conclude that it is a martingale under the T-forward measure( we can conclude the same result differently).Usually our references to build the libor curve are swap quotes collateralized ( OIS discounted) , and the most convenient way to extract information from a standard swap is to define the T-Forward measure( OIS), so we keep the classic (model-independent) pricing formula DF*delta*FW. This forward libor is by construction a martingale under the t-forward(OIS) measure. So everything remains the same as before, except that the measure as moved from T-forward LIBOR measure to t-forward OIS measure.
