Study Notes
System Simulation
- Dynamic simulation involves the imitation of the operation of real-world processes or systems over time.
Goal of Modeling and Simulation
- The goal of modeling and simulation is to analyze, understand, and predict the behavior of complex systems, making informed decisions, and identifying optimization opportunities.
Disadvantages of Simulation
- One disadvantage of simulation is that it can be time-consuming and expensive to develop and maintain.
System Components
- A system consists of components, including inputs, processing, and outputs, which interact with each other to achieve a specific goal or objective.
When to Use Simulation
- Simulation is the appropriate tool to use when it is impractical, impossible, or too expensive to experiment with real-world systems, or when the cost of failure is high.
