UIT2221 - THE CONCEPT OF SIMULATION (Mod 2)

A simulation is the ________________of the operation of a real-world process or system over time.

Simulations require the use of models; the model represents the key ____________ or _______________ of the selected system or process, whereas the simulation represents the evolution of the model over time.

• characteristics

• action

• behaviors

• work hard

A computer ___________________ is an application designed to imitate a real-life situation. An example is software which simulates the experience of piloting a plane.

Simple simulation software running on a ____ offers the user entertainment and practice in simple controls and navigation.

A real-life flight simulator - used for training pilots - is far more sophisticated, and is very ______________.

 

• expensive

• cheap

• nice

• simple

The pilot sits inside a specially designed cockpit on hydraulically controlled struts which move the ____________ to give the feel of the pitch and roll of a real plane.

Flight simulators are safe and _____ ____________too. No fuel is needed and there's no crew to pay, any damage to the plane is simulated, and the pilot is never at risk.

The picture is an example of...

• Nuclear power stations simulation software

• The GLD traffic simulator

• Examples of Medical Simulation

• Virtual Reality (VR)

There are flight simulators give trainee pilots experience EXCEPT...

• different flying conditions, eg poor weather, night flying

• emergency situations, eg frozen runways, fog, engine failure

• landing procedures and how they differ from airport to airport

• the experiential learning every healthcare professional will need, but cannot always engage in during real-life patient care.
