A simulation uses a mathematical description, or model, of a real system in the form of a computer program. ... When the program is run, the resulting mathematical dynamics form an analog of the behaviour of the real system, with the results presented in the form of data.
How does simulation process work?
Process simulation is a model-based representation of chemical, physical, biological, and other technical processes and unit operations in software. ... The goal of a process simulation is to find optimal conditions for a process. This is essentially an optimization problem which has to be solved in an iterative process.
What are the 5 steps of a simulation?
