Types of Model
Explain static mathematical model with suitable example. [5]
A static mathematical model is a type of mathematical model that represents a system at a particular point in time, where the system attribute values do not change over time. It uses symbolic notation and mathematical equations to represent the system, wher...
Full solved answer →Difference between static physical and dynamic physical models. [5]
A physical model is a type of simulation model where system attributes are represented by physical measures (such as voltage), and system activities are governed by physical laws. Physical models are classified into two types: Static and Dynamic. --- A stat...
Full solved answer →Describe dynamic physical model in detail with the help of suitable example. [5]
A dynamic physical model is one which changes with time or which is a function of time. Unlike static models, dynamic physical models capture the behavior of a system as it evolves over time due to system activities. In a physical model, system attributes a...
Full solved answer →What do you understand by dynamic mathematical model? Explain with example. Differentiate it with static mathematical model.[10]
A mathematical model uses symbolic notation and mathematical equations to represent a system. The system attributes are represented by variables and the system activities are represented by mathematical functions. A dynamic mathematical model is a mathemati...
Full solved answer →What do you understand by static mathematical model? Explain with example. Differentiate between stochastic and deterministic activities.[10]
--- As stated in the course notes: "A mathematical model uses symbolic notation and mathematical equations to represent a system. The system attributes are represented by variables and the activities are represented by mathematical functions." A mathematica...
Full solved answer →Phases in Simulation Study
Describe different phases of simulation study with help of flowchart. [5]
A simulation study is a systematic process of building, validating, and using a simulation model to analyze a real-world system. It involves a series of well-defined phases that guide the analyst from problem identification to final implementation. --- --- ...
Full solved answer →What are steps involved in simulation study? Explain. [5]
A simulation study is a systematic process of building, validating, and using a simulation model to analyze a real-world system. The following are the 12 key steps involved: --- Clearly state and define the problem to be studied. This involves understanding...
Full solved answer →Describe the phases in simulation. [5]
Simulation is not a single-step process; it follows a systematic sequence of phases to ensure that the model accurately represents the real system and produces reliable results. A simulation study is commonly divided into the following 12 phases: --- Clearl...
Full solved answer →Model of a System
Why model of a system is built? What is static model? Differentiate between static and dynamic mathematical models in simulation.[10]
--- A model is a simplified representation of a real system used to study, analyze, and predict system behavior without directly experimenting on the actual system. Simulation and modeling are useful for the following key reasons: Reason Explanation -------...
Full solved answer →Discrete and Continuous System
Differentiate between discrete and continuous system. [5]
A discrete system is one in which the state variables change only at a discrete set of points in time. The system changes state instantaneously at specific moments, and remains unchanged between those moments. Example: A banking system where the number of c...
Full solved answer →System and System Environment
Write short notes on (any two): a. System and its environment b. Simulation run statistics [5]
A system is defined as a collection of entities (people, machines, etc.) that interact together toward the accomplishment of some logical end. Every system exists and operates within an environment, which consists of all elements that lie outside the system...
Full solved answer →Advantages, Disadvantages and Limitations of Simulation
Discuss the merits and demerits of system simulation. [5]
Simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time. It involves generating an artificial history of the system and observing it to draw inferences about the real system. --- Merit Explanation ----------------------- 1 T...
