1Process imitation with computers
Using a computer to copy and study how something works in real life.
- They used computer simulation to model the spread of the disease.
- Computer simulations can save time and money in engineering.
driving simulation
1Vehicle driving practice model
A program or machine that copies how driving works so people can practice safely.
- Driving simulations are used in schools to teach safe driving skills.
- She improved her reaction time through driving simulation training.
flight simulation
1Aircraft operation imitation for training
A computer program or machine that copies how flying an aircraft works, used for practice.
- Flight simulation is essential for pilot training.
- She spent hours in flight simulation before her first solo flight.
war simulation
1Military conflict imitation exercise
A practice activity that copies how a war might happen, used by soldiers and planners.
- War simulations help armies prepare for different situations.
- The exercise was a large-scale war simulation involving multiple countries.
