: Models a system as a discrete sequence of events (e.g., customers arriving at a bank).

: Used in engineering and aerospace to test aerodynamics or structural integrity (e.g., NASA astronaut training ).

Simulations are primarily used to model complex systems where real-world testing is too expensive, dangerous, or impossible.

: Security training where employees are sent "fake" phishing emails to test their awareness and reduce human risk. 📄 Standard Report Structure

A formal simulation report should follow a structured "ADEMP" framework (Aims, Data, Estimands, Methods, Performance) to ensure clarity and reproducibility. 1. Executive Summary State the . Briefly summarize the key findings . 2. Introduction & Objectives Why was this simulation needed? What hypotheses or variables were tested? 3. Methodology

: Simulates the actions of autonomous "agents" (like people or cells) to see how they affect a whole system.

: Used in finance and project management to predict the probability of different outcomes based on random variables.
