Computer simulationis the process of mathematical modelling, performed on a computer, which is designed to predict the behaviour of, or the outcome of, a real-world or physical system.
Simulation softwareis based on the process of modeling a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas.
Military simulationare simulations in which theories of warfare can be tested and refined without the need for actual hostilities.
Simulation video gameare a diverse super-category of video games, generally designed to closely simulate real world activities.
MASSIVE (Multiple Agent Simulation System in Virtual Environment)is considered, by industry professionals, to be a high-end computer animation and artificial intelligence software package used for generating crowd-related visual effects for film and television.
Simantics System Dynamicsused for modelling and simulating large hierarchical models with multidimensional variables created in a traditional way with stock and flow diagrams and causal loop diagrams.
Process simulationis used for the design, development, analysis, and optimization of technical processes such as: chemical plants, chemical processes, environmental systems, power stations, complex manufacturing operations, biological processes, and similar technical functions.
