Simulation and Modelling

Notes 1.8 Summary

 Simul8 Standard is an incorporated environment for functioning with simulation models.
 The defining feature of the modelling and simulation approach is that it is founded on a
computer-based experimental investigation that utilises an appropriate model for the
SUI.

 Pure pursuit is a tracking algorithm that functions by scheming the curvature that will
shift a vehicle from its existing position to some objective position.
 Systems are often visualized or modeled as component blocks that have connections
drawn between them.
 Elements are the kinds of parts (things or substances) that make up a system. Attributes
are characteristics of the elements that may be perceived and measured. Relationships are
the associations that occur between elements and attributes.
 A model is a specification for behaviour generation and the modelling process is concerned
with the development of this specification.
 When simulating an inventory control systems project, it is essential to take stock of all
the key elements of real-world inventory control without overseeing the serious real-
world factors.

1.9 Keywords
