Study Notes
Simulation Overview
- A simulation is an imitation of a real-world process or system, allowing for experimentation and analysis in a controlled environment.
When to Use Simulation
- Simulation is considered an appropriate tool when it is too expensive, dangerous, or time-consuming to experiment with a real system.
Advantages of Simulation
- Allows for experimentation and testing without disturbing the real system.
- Enables the analysis of complex systems and scenarios.
- Cost-effective and time-efficient compared to real-world experimentation.
- Allows for rapid prototyping and testing of new ideas.
System Components
- A system consists of inputs, processes, and outputs, which interact and interdependently operate to achieve a common goal.
Goal of Modeling and Simulation
- The goal of modeling and simulation is to develop a realistic representation of a system or process, allowing for analysis, prediction, and improvement of its performance.
