simulation software
Digital scenario creator
Simulation software creates digital models that mimic real-world systems, processes, or phenomena.
Engineers use it to test aircraft designs before building prototypes; scientists model climate patterns; businesses forecast supply chain disruptions.
The software lets users manipulate variables and observe outcomes without real-world consequences: The simulation software predicted the bridge would fail under those wind conditions.
Flight simulators and video games use related technology for training and entertainment.
