Block 2 - Lecture 2 Flashcards
1
Q
Why is simulation important?
A
Understand the relationship between key characteristics of the selected system
Identify problem areas before implementation
Evaluate ideas and identify inefficiencies
2
Q
Advantages of simulation?
A
Non invasive:
Running a simulation does not cause any disturbance or harm at all
Training:
Learners are able to explore outcomes, with a better understanding of the scenario and available solutions more immediately
3
Q
Disadvantages of simulation?
A
The simulation may not be correct
Time and money to develop simulation models
4
Q
What is a state?
A
A condition of an object for a particular time
A recognizable period in its life history
5
Q
What is an event?
A
Something that happens or changes in the environment
Events cause entities to change state
