Study Notes
Module 2 Overview
- Focuses on the fundamentals of modeling and simulation
Time Advance Mechanisms
- Two types: Next-Event Time Advance and Fixed-Increment Time Advance
System Types
- Discrete systems: state variables change instantaneously at separated points in time
- Continuous systems: state variables change continuously over time
- Partly discrete, partly continuous systems: combine elements of discrete and continuous systems
Partly Discrete, Partly Continuous Systems
- Examples: traffic flow, inventory management, and banking systems
Discrete State Variables
- Examples: number of customers in a queue, amount of inventory in a warehouse
- Systems with discrete state variables: bank accounts, inventory management systems
Discrete Event Simulation
- A method for modeling and analyzing systems that change at discrete points in time
- Involves simulating the behavior of a system over time, with state variables changing at specific events
