Dictionary

simulation

Attempting to predict aspects of the behaviour of some system
by creating an approximate (mathematical) model of it. This
can be done by physical modelling, by writing a
special-purpose computer program or using a more general
simulation package, probably still aimed at a particular kind
of simulation (e.g. structural engineering, fluid flow).
Typical examples are aircraft flight simlators or electronic
circuit simulators. A great many simulation languages exist,
e.g. Simula.

See also emulation, Markov chain.

It indicates, agreeably to its etymology, the concert or agreement of two or
more persons to give to one thing the appearance of another, for the purpose
of fraud. Merl. Repert. h.t.

2. With us such act might be punished by indictment for a conspiracy;
by avoiding the pretended contract; or by action to recover back the money
or property which may have been thus fraudulently obtained.
