simulates
Acts out artificially
Simulates means to imitate or reproduce the conditions, appearance, or effects of something.
A flight simulator simulates the experience of piloting an aircraft.
Scientists simulate climate patterns with computer models.
The word can also mean to feign or fake: He simulated interest in her story.
Simulated materials imitate real ones: simulated leather, simulated wood grain.
