Everything about Simulation software

Software that models a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas

Simulation software is software that models a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas. It allows a user to see the results of an action without actually performing that action. Simulation software is widely used to design equipment such that the final product will be as close to design specs as possible. Simulation software that runs real-time is used often in gaming, but also has important industrial applications. When the penalty for improper operation is costly, such as when piloting an airplane or operating a nuclear power plant, a mock up of the actual control panel is connected to a real-time simulation of the physical response, allowing valuable training without consequences.
