Unit 11: Design and Evaluation of Simulation Experiments (I)

13. The greater update rate you specify, the smoother ……………….. will appear. Notes

14. The model runs at its maximum speed and no mapping is made between model time and
………………..
15. If ……………….. is selected, the presentation window will be maximized on model launch.

11.7 Review Questions

1. Do you think parameters properties are available only when the root active objects class
of the experiment has any parameters?
2. “A variance reduction technique is presented that is effective when the system characteristic
to be estimated is strongly influenced by rare events.” Comment.
3. What are the steps required to make the simulation experiment?
4. If for any reason you are not satisfied with the quality of Random then what you can do?
Give reasons.
5. Explain the general properties of simulation experiment.
6. Do you think the Maximum available memory is the maximum size of Java heap allocated
for the model?
7. “The code is executed before simulation run.” Elaborate.
8. Absolute accuracy is used when it is impossible to use relative accuracy. Give reasons

9. Find out the difference between the model time properties and presentational properties
of simulation experiment.
10. “Parameters properties are available only when the root active object class of the
experiment has any parameters.” Explain.
