“A computer simulation, a computer model, or a computational model is a computer program, or network of computers, that attempts to simulate an abstract model of a particular system.”

Model
Statistical model Used to find analytical solutions and predict, or
forecast, future results Weather Banking
Simulation Uses various types of inputs (human entered,
random machine input) to run different scenarios Architecture Weather (Climate change) Flight Simulator
Example: Earthquake Simulation (Simulation Model) World’s largest shake table test
Six-story wood frame tested by stronger earthquake forces than California has experienced in modern time
Example: Bridge Wind Simulation (Simulation Model) Washington State Department of
Transportation SR 520 Bridge Replacement and HOV Project
Example: Natural Disaster Simulation (Simulation Model) Tsunami Inundation of Seattle (NOAA
simulation) Based on a simulated 7.3 magnitude earthquake
