Industrial Automatic Control Systems and Controllers Annotation << Back Simulation as a Tool to Provide Additional Information for Human Decisions D.A. Chuvikov In this article we consider the class of simulation systems. First of all, we discuss the retrospective analysis of simulation, then we represent the general process of creation simulation models by scheme and finally we consider the classifi cation of simulation models. We review the main directions of simulation and compile the table of the correspondence between directions of simulation and simulation systems recommended to use for solving the tasks that we are considered. The article focuses on the main advantages and disadvantages of the simulation usage and on the perspectives of the usage. Keywords: simulation; simulation system; retrospective analysis; modeling; IMMOD; technology; algorithm; advantages and disadvantages. Contacts: E-mail: d.chuvikov@mivar.ru Pp. 44-53.
