simulations

All computer simulations are models, but not all models are computer simulations.

Here's a pdf of a poster where someone did basically that, using computer simulations of course.

No checking or simulations there (can't even generate a bill of materials with this either)!

Note that most classified codes are actually physics/material/explosion/plasma physics simulations and you can't always tell they are running on your system.

Mathematical descriptions of large-scale static properties like equilibria are patently not the same as, say, dynamic discrete-time simulations with evolving state.

You can do that with some decent sensors and some simple physics simulations.

The negotiation process was separated into component behaviors that were practised during simulations by each youth and his parent under the direction of trainers.

That's true for many purposes, but is it true for physical simulations?

My specialty is creating 3-D environments and simulations for biological interactions.

In 10^4 repeated simulations each with samples of 180 ordinary betas and 20 Paretos, we expect to identify 10% of abnormals.

For electrical design, there are tools that allow you to put in electrical requirements and run simulations on your design files to test against those requirements.

Maybe this is the value that came out of simulations.

A similar seeming bug is the old "kangaroos with rocket launchers" story (from military simulations, not games) [1].

Then you will see that the "representative agent" models of economics are really just simulations based on a specific set of assumptions.

I asked, instead, "Why not just run N independent simulations, and pool the results?" In this case, you run an M-thread simulation on each machine (where M = number of cores on the machine) with no internode communication at all except to read input files and write output files.

"Everyone should learn to write, but not everyone should be a professional writer." But, it's not that we want "everyone to learn to code"; what we really want is for everyone to learn how to use computers to build powerful simulations so that they can test and explore interesting and complicated ideas.
