1. Simulationnoun

   That part of hypocrisy which pretends that to be which is not.

   Etymology: simulation, French; simulatio from simulo, Latin.

   Simulation is a vice rising of a natural falseness, or fearfulness; or of a mind that hath some main faults; which because a man must needs disguise, it maketh him practise simulation. Francis Bacon.

   For the unquestionable virtues of her person and mind, he well expressed his love in an act and time of no simulation towards his end, bequeathing her all his mansion-houses, and a power to dispose of his whole personal estate. Henry Wotton.

   For distinction sake, a deceiving by word is commonly called a lie; and deceiving by actions, gestures, or behaviour, is called simulation or hypocrisy. Robert South, Sermons.

1. Simulation

   A simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time. Simulations require the use of models; the model represents the key characteristics or behaviors of the selected system or process, whereas the simulation represents the evolution of the model over time. Often, computers are used to execute the simulation. Simulation is used in many contexts, such as simulation of technology for performance tuning or optimizing, safety engineering, testing, training, education, and video games. Simulation is also used with scientific modelling of natural systems or human systems to gain insight into their functioning, as in economics. Simulation can be used to show the eventual real effects of alternative conditions and courses of action. Simulation is also used when the real system cannot be engaged, because it may not be accessible, or it may be dangerous or unacceptable to engage, or it is being designed but not yet built, or it may simply not exist.Key issues in modeling and simulation include the acquisition of valid sources of information about the relevant selection of key characteristics and behaviors used to build the model, the use of simplifying approximations and assumptions within the model, and fidelity and validity of the simulation outcomes. Procedures and protocols for model verification and validation are an ongoing field of academic study, refinement, research and development in simulations technology or practice, particularly in the work of computer simulation.

1. simulation

   Simulation is a method or process of imitating a real-life situation, system, or environment, often using a computer program or digital model. It allows for exploration, experimentation, analysis, and learning in a controlled and risk-free setting, and is often used for testing, design, training, research, and education in various fields such as engineering, healthcare, military, gaming, and more. It replicates reality by creating a virtual copy of an event or phenomenon, which can be manipulated to study its behavior, outcomes or probabilities.

1. Simulation

   Simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time. The act of simulating something first requires that a model be developed; this model represents the key characteristics or behaviors/functions of the selected physical or abstract system or process. The model represents the system itself, whereas the simulation represents the operation of the system over time. Simulation is used in many contexts, such as simulation of technology for performance optimization, safety engineering, testing, training, education, and video games. Simulation is also used with scientific modelling of natural systems or human systems to gain insight into their functioning. Simulation can be used to show the eventual real effects of alternative conditions and courses of action. Simulation is also used when the real system cannot be engaged, because it may not be accessible, or it may be dangerous or unacceptable to engage, or it is being designed but not yet built, or it may simply not exist. Key issues in simulation include acquisition of valid source information about the relevant selection of key characteristics and behaviours, the use of simplifying approximations and assumptions within the simulation, and fidelity and validity of the simulation outcomes.

Examples of simulation in a Sentence

1. Rocket Lab:

   We didn't want to bite off more than we could chew, the pilots were well briefed : If anything was different from the simulation that they felt that they weren't happy with, then the most important thing is everybody's safety. ... And that's exactly what they executed. So they got a great catch. And and they just didn't like the way the the load was feeling.

2. Matt Wall:

   E-cigarettes ... provide a very good simulation of traditional smoking (and) we have shown that using e-cigarettes with fMRI is an excellent paradigm for direct evaluation of the effects of smoking on human neurophysiology.

3. John Hutchinson:

   What speed giant tyrannosaurs might have normally walked at hasn't been a big question for many studies, but it is still an interesting question. The approach used here is complementary to fancier muscle-based simulation studies and, in a way, to data from fossil footprints, this study covers some new ground in a clever way with an original model. It's interesting and would be useful to integrate with and compare with other approaches in the future.

4. Garrett Jensen:

   We found the optimal angle is about 40 degrees off the ground. Once Dillon Ruble’re aiming that high, Dillon Ruble throw as hard as possible. That gives us our best distance, it took simulations to figure that out. I did n’t think we could get useful data from a simulation on a paper airplane. Turns out, we could.

5. Michael Hess:

   The simulations were a great opportunity to practice procedures and to coordinate decision-making for the mission management team, especially with respect to weather, simulation supervisors do a great job at picking cases that really make the team think and discuss.
