simulation(Noun)
Something which simulates a system or environment in order to predict actual behaviour.
simulation(Noun)
The process of simulating.
Despite extensive simulation in the design phase, the aircraft failed to behave as expected.
simulation(Noun)
Assuming an appearance which is feigned, or not true.
simulation(Noun)
The act of falling over in order to be awarded a foul, when a foul hasn't been committed.

Origin: First attested in 1340. From simulacion/simulacioun, from simulation/simulacion, from simulationem, from simulo.

Simulation(noun)
the act of simulating, or assuming an appearance which is feigned, or not true; -- distinguished from dissimulation, which disguises or conceals what is true

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.

Wu Yanhua:
( This simulation) is a critical milestone for the development of the Mars probe.
Rick Ludtke:
We don't know if he is describing glitches in the simulation, or if it's actually an MCAS misbehavior.
Parham Aarabi:
The more we got into it, the more we realized there was a need for simulation in virtual makeovers and try-on in the beauty space.
Pierre Peron:
If you need a helicopter to get to a certain place, do you know who to speak to to get that to happen? Thanks to the simulation exercises, we do.
Ryan Moorhead:
People think we're out there and it's like a simulation war game or something like that. It isn't anything like that. It's more of an extreme action sport.
