What is Simulation?
Basic explanation of what simulation is and how it can be used.
Probabilistic Simulation
Describes what is meant by "probabilistic simulation", and discusses how it can be used to explicitly address uncertainty by specifying inputs as probability distributions.
When To Use Simulation
Simulation should be used when the consequences of a proposed action, plan or design cannot be directly and immediately observed and/or it is impractical or prohibitively expensive to test the alternatives directly.
Types of Simulation Tools
Because simulation is such a powerful tool to assist in understanding complex systems and to support decision-making, a wide variety of approaches and tools exist. This page summarizes the major approaches.
Selecting Simulation Software
Provides suggestions and guidelines for selecting a simulation software tool that will meet your needs.
