Introduction to Modeling and Simulation

Model : a representation of an object, system, idea in some form other than of entity itself.

Types of models : physical and mathematical

Simulation :

  • operation of model which is representation of that system
  • amenable model to manipulation which would be impossible, expensive, too impractical on system
Applications :
  • design and analyze manufacturing system
  • evaluate new military weapons system
  • analyse financial
  • design communication system
  • design and operating transportation facilities
Steps in simulation and model building :
  1. define achievable goal
  2. put together a complete mix of skills on the team
  3. involve end-user
  4. choose appropriate simulation tools
Why teach with simulation?
  • students can get deep learning
  • students can learn scientific methods
  • helps students understand probability and sampling theory
