Study Notes

Simulation Concepts

  • Simulation is a tool used to analyze and optimize systems after alteration or construction.
  • Simulation helps prevent over-utilization of resources.
  • Discrete-event simulation is an event-based approach.
  • Simulation is applied to designing and analyzing manufacturing systems and transportation facilities.

Characteristics of Simulation

  • Simulation does not guarantee an optimal solution; it's not a last resort.
  • Probabilistic simulation involves fixed input and output variables.
  • Static simulation neglects the time factor.

Modeling and Simulation

  • Modeling and simulation involves producing a model, which is a simplified representation of the system.
  • A model should not be more complex than the system it represents.
  • Simulation is the operation of the system model, enabling prediction of changes to the system.

Model Validation

  • Model validation techniques include simulating the model under known input conditions and comparing model output with system output.
