Representation of something (sometimes on a smaller scale)

Usage examples of simulation.

Pacing the floor to keep warm, he wondered if Barranca himself had created the computer simulation of the Revelator.

Long before the simulation or extrapolation technology was used for entertainment, it had been used by the early Gold School for predicting outcomes of political-economic policy decisions and of major data movements in worldwide memory space.

There was a red-faced master horologe, impatient and severe in his red robes, a haikuist who had the haggard, disoriented look of someone who had recently experienced too much computer simulation, and three high novices fresh from a game of hokkee in the Ice Dome.

He was an unsurpassed expert on wind-tunnel computer simulations, as performed by the Hillis Massively Parallel Processor.

It is the closest simulation of death that the Metaverse can offer, but all it really does is cause the user a lot of annoyance.

I had my computer work out a number of military simulations, and I finally decided that the only way I could accept Principia as the origin of the race we sought would be if the planet existed in the vicinity of Adhara, which of course was not the case.

For himself and his fellow quirky enthusiasts, the kind of simulation arenas available to Edenists through perceptual reality environments were anathema.

A dozen were not slowing at all and would maintain full speed all the way to and most of the way through the system, their crews and systems trained over hundreds of simulations for an ultra-high-speed pass across Ulubis planetary system which would last for less than four hours.

Here is a very over-simplified example, this time expressed in the form of a subjective soliloquy rather than a computer simulation.

I ran the simulations dozens of ways, altering variables such as subpopulation movements, materials shortages, and shifts in standards of living.

Defense Department money to create an environment where pilot trainees for the new superjets could get a nearly perfect simulation of flying.

None of their battle simulations had included a seemingly unprecipitated attack out of thin air.

Since assuming command of their battleships, the admiral had regularly tested them with intensive simulations of various Fleet-attack scenarios.

Instead of pre-setting the conditions of each simulation, perhaps we should try a Darwinistic approach.

For three years, he had a post-doc fellowship in models and computer simulations, and currently has one in vivo electrophysiology, but his job as a junior scientist researcher at U.
