What is SIMULATION?
A modelling technique
A
model program is designed and
implemented using a simulation language
This model behaves (approximately) like the
real system when the model program is run
The inputs or parameters of the model are
constructed from observations (usually in
the form of probability distribution
functions)
The outputs are statistical reports
3
Why use a Simulation Model?
Test a new idea
use
the model to design the real system
see
what happens if changes are made on
the system
Measure the performance of a system
Conduct experiments if it is expensive to use
the real system
