Real-world applications of simulation

05 marks

Explain how the concept of simulation can be used in real world. [5]

Simulation is the process of creating a computational or physical model of a real-world system to study its behavior, test hypotheses, or predict outcomes without directly experimenting on the actual system. - Simulate structural designs, stress testing, an...

Feedback systems in simulation

05 marks

What do you mean by feedback systems in simulation? Explain. [5]

A feedback system in simulation is a mechanism where the output or results of a simulation are used as input to influence subsequent iterations or states of the simulation. It represents a closed-loop process where system behavior is monitored, evaluated, a...
