device/software that imitates reality
A machine or computer program that copies real life so people can practice or learn safely.
Mẫu sử dụng:
a [type] simulator for [activity]
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners sometimes confuse "simulator" with "simulation". A "simulator" is the machine or program you use, while a "simulation" is the experience or process it creates. Another mistake is spelling it like "stimulator", which means something that causes activity, not something that imitates reality.
Từ đồng nghĩa
training device (More general; does not always imply computer-based or highly realistic imitation.)
|
simulation tool (Focuses on the tool aspect, often in software; slightly more formal and broader than a dedicated simulator unit.)
Từ trái nghĩa
real equipment (Refers to the actual machine or environment, not an artificial copy used for training.)

software that models complex systems
Computer software that copies how a real system works so people can test and study it without using the real system.
Mẫu sử dụng:
a [domain] simulator for [process]
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners may not realize that this sense is often not for direct human training but for testing and research. They may also use "simulator" and "model" as exact synonyms, but a model is the abstract description, while a simulator is the running system that uses the model to imitate behavior over time.
Từ đồng nghĩa
modeling software (Emphasizes the mathematical or computational model; may not always involve interactive or real-time simulation.)
|
simulation engine (Used more in computing and game development; highlights the core software component that drives the simulation.)
Từ trái nghĩa
real-world system (The actual system being studied or designed, as opposed to a software copy used for testing.)
