computer simulation is the use of a computer to represent to dynamic responses of one system by the behavior of another system modeled after it. a simulation uses a mathematical description or model of a real system in the form of a computer program. this model is composed of equation that duplicate the functional relationship within the real system. when the program is run. the resulting mathematical model forms a similar behavior of the r

earl system with the result presented in the form of data. a simulation can also take the form of a computer-graphics image that represents of dynamic processes in a animated sequence. computer simulations are use to study the dynamic behavior of objects or system is response to condition that cannot be easily or safely applied in real life. for example, a mathematical model that incorporates such variables as that, velocity and radioactive emissions can describe a nuclear blast. additional mathematical formulas can then be used to adjust the model to changes in certain variables, such as the amount of fissionable material that produced  that blast. simulations are especially useful in enabling observers to measure and predict how the functioning of an entire system may be affected by altering individual components within that system. simulation  performed by personal computers consist mainly of business models and geometric models. business models inculcate spreadsheet, financial and statistical software programs that are used in business analysis and planing. geometric models are used for applications that require simple mathematical modeling of objects, such as buildings, industrial parts and the molecular structures of chemicals. more advanced simulations, such as those that emulate weather patterns or the behaviors of macroeconomic system are usually performed on powerful workstations or on mainframes. in engineering, computer models of newly designed structures undergo simulated test to determine their responses to stress and other physical variables. simulations of river system can be manipulated to determine the potential effects of dams and irrigation networks before any actual construction has taken place.
