Study Notes
System Simulation Basics
- A system refers to a set of components that work together to achieve a common goal or objective, often involving interactions, processes, and transformations.
System Components
- Inputs represent the external factors or stimuli that affect the system's behavior, such as user interactions, environmental changes, or external events.
- Outputs represent the results or responses generated by the system in response to the inputs, which can be in the form of data, products, or services.
- State variables are internal variables that describe the system's current condition, status, or state, and can change over time due to inputs, processes, or internal dynamics.
System Simulation Goals
- The primary goal of system simulation is to model and analyze the behavior of a system over time, allowing for the prediction of outcomes, testing of scenarios, and evaluation of system performance.
System Components (continued)
- The components of a system in system simulation typically include:
- Inputs
- Processes (or transformations)
- State variables
- Outputs
- Feedback loops (which connect outputs to inputs or other components)
- Boundaries (which define the system's limits and interfaces)
