W09 Simulation and Modeling. Today’s presentation was on “Simulation and Modeling” and there was no group to present today. However Des showed us what simulation a modelling was all about. Modelling is an interactive or non interactive representation of a particular object or idea. A model is generally produced in a smaller scale than the original object. Models allow the students to gain a thorough understanding of how an object functions before constructing the real size object. Enter your comment here.
