  2. Simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation

    t. e. A simulation is an imitative representation of a process or system that could exist in the real world. [1][2][3] In this broad sense, simulation can often be used interchangeably with model. [2] Sometimes a clear distinction between the two terms is made, in which simulations require the use of models; the model represents the key ...

  3. Modeling and simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modeling_and_simulation

    Modeling and simulation (M&S) is the use of models (e.g., physical, mathematical, behavioral, or logical representation of a system, entity, phenomenon, or process) as a basis for simulations to develop data utilized for managerial or technical decision making. [1][2] In the computer application of modeling and simulation a computer is used to ...

  4. Computer simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_simulation

    Computer simulation is the running of a mathematical model on a computer, the model being designed to represent the behaviour of, or the outcome of, a real-world or physical system. The reliability of some mathematical models can be determined by comparing their results to the real-world outcomes they aim to predict.

  5. Simulation (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_(computer_science)

    Simulation (computer science) In theoretical computer science a simulation is a relation between state transition systems associating systems that behave in the same way in the sense that one system simulates the other. Intuitively, a system simulates another system if it can match all of its moves. The basic definition relates states within ...

  6. Simulation software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_software

    Simulation software is based on the process of modeling a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas. It is, essentially, a program that allows the user to observe an operation through simulation without actually performing that operation. Simulation software is used widely to design equipment so that the final product will be as close ...

  7. Live, virtual, and constructive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live,_virtual,_and...

    Constructive - A simulation involving simulated people operating simulated systems. Real people stimulate (make inputs to) such simulations, but are not involved in determining the outcomes. A constructive simulation is a computer program. For example, a military user may input data instructing a unit to move and to engage an enemy target.

  8. Simulacra and Simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulacra_and_Simulation

    Simulacra and Simulation (French: Simulacres et Simulation) is a 1981 philosophical treatise by the philosopher and cultural theorist Jean Baudrillard, in which he seeks to examine the relationships between reality, symbols, and society, in particular the significations and symbolism of culture and media involved in constructing an understanding of shared existence.

  9. Process simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_simulation

    Process simulation is a model -based representation of chemical, physical, biological, and other technical processes and unit operations in software. Basic prerequisites for the model are chemical and physical properties [1] of pure components and mixtures, of reactions, and of mathematical models which, in combination, allow the calculation of ...
