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 ...
Simulation modeling. Simulation modeling is the process of creating and analyzing a digital prototype of a physical model to predict its performance in the real world. Simulation modeling is used to help designers and engineers understand whether, under what conditions, and in which ways a part could fail and what loads it can withstand.
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 ...
Scientific modelling is an activity that produces models representing empirical objects, phenomena, and physical processes, to make a particular part or feature of the world easier to understand, define, quantify, visualize, or simulate. It requires selecting and identifying relevant aspects of a situation in the real world and then developing ...
Process of building a computer model, and the interplay between experiment, simulation, and theory. 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 ...
Verification and validation of computer simulation models. Verification and validation of computer simulation models is conducted during the development of a simulation model with the ultimate goal of producing an accurate and credible model. [ 1 ][ 2 ] "Simulation models are increasingly being used to solve problems and to aid in decision-making.
The High Level Architecture (HLA) is a standard for distributed simulation, used when building a simulation for a larger purpose by combining (federating) several simulations. [ 1 ] The standard was developed in the 1990s under the leadership of the US Department of Defense [ 2 ] and was later transitioned to become an open international IEEE ...
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 ...
