Meaning of simulation

Question

Illustrate the meaning of simulation? Write down its uses? Also describe the merits.

Answer 1

Computer simulation is a discipline of designing a model of an actual or theoretical physical system, executing the model on the digital computer and analyzing the execution output. Simulation embodies the principle of ‘learning by doing’ to learnt regarding the system we should primary build a model of some sort and then operate model.

The merit of simulation is that even for simply solvable linear systems a uniform model execution method can be used to resolve a big variety of systems devoid of resorting to a bag of tricks where one must select special purpose and sometimes arcane solution techniques to avoid the simulation.
