What is Simulation Software?

Simulation software is a type of software that utilizes mathematical algorithms to replicate real-life scenarios. This allows for the testing and analysis of various systems, processes, and strategies. Many industries, such as aviation and engineering, use simulation software to predict performance outcomes and identify potential issues before implementing them in the real world. These programs are designed to accurately mimic the behavior of complex systems and provide visual representations of data for easier interpretation. They can be used for educational purposes or as tools for decision-making in business settings.
