One of the tricks to developing useful simulations is to determine which are the most important factors that affect the goals of the simulation. Simulation can be difficult because most natural phenomena are subject to an almost infinite number of influences. In theory, any phenomena that can be reduced to mathematical data and equations can be simulated on a computer. When the penalty for improper operation is costly, such as airplane pilots, nuclear power plant operators, or chemical plant operators, a mock up of the actual control panel is connected to a real-time simulation of the physical response, giving valuable training experience without fear of a disastrous outcome.Īdvanced computer programs can simulate power system behavior, weather conditions, electronic circuits, chemical reactions, mechatronics, heat pumps, feedback control systems, atomic reactions, even complex biological processes. Simulation software with real-time response is often used in gaming, but it also has important industrial applications. Simulation software is used widely to design equipment so that the final product will be as close to design specs as possible without expensive in process modification. It is, essentially, a program that allows the user to observe an operation through simulation without actually performing that operation. Simulation software is based on the process of modeling a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas.
