Computer simulation
A computer simulation is a discipline that gained popularity for more than several decades. It is a computer program that attempts to simulate an abstract model. The models of computer simulation can assist in the creation of complex systems as a way to understand and evaluate hidden or unknown scenarios. Some notable examples of computer simulation modeling are weather forecasting and aircraft simulators used for training pilots.
Computer simulations have become a very productive part of mathematical modeling of systems in diverse fields, such as physics, chemistry, biology, economics, engineering, psychology, and social science.
Here are the benefits of simulation models:
- Gaining a better understanding of an algorithm or process that is being studied
- Identifying the problem areas in the processes and algorithm
- Evaluating the impact of changes in anything that relates to the algorithmic model
The types of simulation models are as follows:
- Discrete models: In this, changes...
