Adrielle Module 9 - Introduction to simulation

Concept Simulation (4)

Applicable in situations where similar systems are modeled frequently

Detailed simulation

Follows the completion of a concept simulation

Concept Simulation

Less detailed, first run simulation

Concept Simulation (3)

Results can be inaccurate since details are left out

Concept Simulation (1)

Rough cut simulation or rapid model

Art

Skill of the modeling team - creativity involved in modeling, interpretation of the results

Simulation

Soft-science containing both concepts and skills

Science

Statistics, Mathematics and Computer Science comprise its foundations

Concept Simulation (2)

Tests overall concepts without the addition of finer details

Detailed simulation (1)

The model is ready for the addition of finer details

Simulation (1)

are done using assembly language, FORTRAN or other high level languages
