1.3. Advantages & disadvantages of simulation (Josiah)
Advantages
New polices, rules and guidelines could be explored without disrupting the live system
New hardware designs and physical components could be tested without commiting resources
Hypotheses on certain behavior and phenomena could be tested for feasibility
Manipulate time to suit needs (fast-forward/ slowdown)
Insight on interaction of variables
Insight on the relation between variables and system performance
Blocking points could be analyzed
Behavior of the system could be observed rather than guessed
verify the uncertainty of new systems
Disadvantages
Specialized training required
ambiguous outputs
time consuming and resource heavy
unnecessary in some cases
Offsets
template for simulators are available, thus minimal training req
Output analysis packages gives clarity to the outputs
speed of simulations are getting faster as newer packages and stable releases are developed.
for complex cases, simulators are preferred.
