Simulationand

Its Application

What is Simulation? An attempt to duplicate the features, appearance, and

characteristics of a real system To imitate a real-world situation mathematically To study its properties and operating characteristics

A simulator is a device that may use any combination of sound, sight, motion and smell to make you feel that you are experiencing an actual situation.

How is simulation done?1. Problem Formulation2. Setting of Objectives and Overall Project Plan3. Model Conceptualization4. Data Collection5. Model Translation6. Verification7. Validation8. Experimental Design9. Production Run and Analysis10. Documentation and Report11. Implementation

1. Flexibility to model things as they are (even if messy and complicated)2. Estimated that 75% of computing power is used for various kinds of simulations3. Real-world complications can be made easy4. “Time compression” is possible5. Allows “what-if” types of questions6. Statistical design& analysis capabilities7. Does not interfere with real-world systems8. Can study the interactive effects of individual components or variables in order to

determine which ones are important in a system
