Modeling and Simulation: Discover the Advantages of Algorithms and Equations
In computing, modeling is used to look at large amounts of data to help with scientific or engineering projects -- simulations are used to graphically represent how things might look and feel.
Both modeling and simulation have become important approaches for organizations who are looking to test a product or systems before building it. This approach can be much safer and cheaper than rushing into building the real deal.
Other significant benefits of modeling and simulation include:
Additionally, unlike spreadsheet- or solver-based analytics, simulation modeling allows the observation of system behavior over time, at any level of detail. For example, checking warehouse storage space utilization on any given date.
A simulation model can capture many more details than an analytical model, providing increased accuracy and more precise forecasting. For instance, mining companies can significantly cut costs by optimizing asset usage and knowing their future equipment needs.
Unlike physical modeling, such as making a scale copy of a building, simulation modeling is computer based and uses algorithms and equations.

Sector analysts steadfastly believe simulation software provides a dynamic environment for the analysis of computer models while they are running, including the possibility to view them in 2D or 3D.
The uses of simulation in business are varied and it is often utilized when conducting experiments on a real system is impossible or impractical, often because of cost or time.
The ability to analyze the model as it runs sets simulation modeling apart from other methods, such as those using Excel or linear programming. By being able to inspect processes and interact with a simulation model in action, both understanding and trust are quickly built.
