Simulation and Modeling Test Questions
and Answers
Computational Models - Answer--Are simulations
-Equations and algorithm inside a computer
-Also called simulation models -A model constructed using algorithmic procedures
implemented as computer programs; also called simulation model
Existence - Answer-Real system may not exist yet.
Safety - Answer-System maybe unsafe to experiment with.
Time Scale - Answer--Physical system may happen too fast or too slow to experiment
*You can't control when its physical but you can when you use computational.
Physical Realization - Answer--System may not be made physical.
*Needs behaviour
Speed of Construction - Answer-Physical model may take too long to build
Ethical Behavior - Answer-Experimenting on physical system may be ethically wrong.
Ease of Modification - Answer-Can change the model quickly and easily.
Computational Steering - Answer--Act of tweaking the design until a satisfactory
simulation has been developed.
-Can be used for the design of brand-new systems and for improving in existing
systems.
-A procedure for using a computational model to improve the design of an actual system
by continually resetting model parameters to improve system performance
Continuous Model - Answer-A formula based on continuous time.
-A model of a system using mathematical equations that describe system performance
as a continuous function of time t
Stochastic Components - Answer-Elements of Randomness.
Parts of a model that display random behavior
Discrete Event Simulation - Answer-Models time as discrete step.
-A computational modeling technique that simulates the behavior of a system only at
discrete points in time
