computer modeling

Virtual system analysis

Computer modeling is the use of software to simulate real-world systems, processes, or phenomena.

Scientists use computer models to predict weather patterns, test engineering designs, or study disease spread without physical experiments.

The technique allows manipulation of variables that would be impossible, dangerous, or expensive to test in reality: Computer modeling showed how the bridge would respond to earthquake forces.
