Simulation involves mathematically imitating real-world situations to study their properties and operating characteristics. The simulation process involves 11 steps: problem formulation, setting objectives, model conceptualization, data collection, model translation, verification, validation, experimental design, production runs and analysis, documentation, and implementation. Simulation offers advantages like flexibility to model complex systems, ability to study interactions of variables, perform "what if" analyses, and compress time without interfering with real systems. Simulation has applications in manufacturing, construction, military, logistics, transportation, education, business, healthcare, and networking.

1. Simulation
and
Its Application

2. What is Simulation?
 An attempt to duplicate the features, appearance, and
characteristics of a real system
 To imitate a real-world situation mathematically
 To study its properties and operating characteristics
A simulator is a device that may use any combination of
sound, sight, motion and smell to make you feel that
you are experiencing an actual situation.
