WHAT IS SIMULATION:
Simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-
world process or system over time. The act of
simulating something first requires that a model be
developed; this model represents the key
characteristics or behaviors/functions of the selected
physical or abstract system or process. The model
represents the system itself, whereas the simulation
represents the operation of the system over time.
