Introduction
A simulation imitates the operation of real world processes or
systems with the use of models. The model represents the key
behaviors and characteristics of the selected process or system
while the simulation represents how the model evolves under
different conditions over time .

Process Simulation
Modelling a system as it
progresses
through time, for
example:
• factory operations (stamping, turning,
milling)
• traffic analysis (roads, networks, queues) Discrete Event

Modelling a system as it
progresses through space, for

between two or more systems, for
example:
•in-service product modelling
•in-manufacture
product modelling
•weather forecasting
• Simulation works through
the use of intuitive
simulation software to create
a visual mock-up of a
process.
How Simulation
• This can be applied to a range of Works:
scenarios, for example, you can
model a supermarket and the
likely behaviors of customers as
they move around the shop as it
becomes busier.

Why is Simulation Used?
Simulation is used to evaluate the effect of process changes, new
procedures and capital investment in equipment. Engineers can use
simulation to assess the performance of an existing system or predict the
performance of a planned system
Simulation is used as an alternative to testing theories and changes in the
real world, which can be costly. Simulation can measure factors including
system cycle times
o Any system or process that has a flow of

inputs.
o Using simulation to model complex and
changeable dynamic systems can offer insights
that are difficult to gain using other methods
Simulation is indeed a project topic that has strong connections with mathematics.
Simulation involves the creation of models or representations of real-world processes or
systems to understand, analyze, or predict their behavior. Mathematics plays a crucial
role in designing, implementing, and interpreting simulations. Here's how simulation
