Simulation Software

Simulation software is based on the process of modeling real phenomena using a set of mathematical formulas It is basically a program that allows the user to observe an action through a simulation without actually performing the action. Simulation software is widely used to design equipment so that the end product is as close to design specifications as possible without costly process changes. Simulation software with real-time response is often used in games, but it also has important industrial applications When penalties for mishandling are costly, such as for airplane pilots, nuclear power plant operators, or chemical plant operators, models of actual control panels combined with real-time simulations of physical responses provide an experience valuable training without fear of catastrophic results. Advanced computer programs can simulate electrical system behavior, weather conditions, electronic circuits, chemical reactions, mechatronics, heat pumps, feedback control systems, atomic reactions, and even complex biological processes In theory, any phenomenon that can be reduced to mathematical data and equations can be simulated on a computer Simulation can be difficult because most natural phenomena are affected by an almost infinite number of influences One of the techniques for developing useful simulations is to determine which are the most important factors that affect the simulation objectives.

In addition to simulating processes to understand how they behave under different conditions, simulations are used to test new theories After creating a theory of causal relationships, theorists can code those relationships into computer programs. If the program then runs the same way as the actual process, the suggested relationship is probably correct
