A simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time. Simulations require the use of models; the model represents the key characteristics or behaviors of the selected system or process, whereas the simulation represents the evolution of the model over time. Often, computers are used to execute the simulation.
Simulation is used in many contexts, such as simulation of technology for performance tuning or optimizing, safety engineering, testing, training, education, and video games. Simulation is also used with scientific modelling of natural systems or human systems to gain insight into their functioning, as in economics. Simulation can be used to show the eventual real effects of alternative conditions and courses of action. Simulation is also used when the real system cannot be engaged, because it may not be accessible, or it may be dangerous or unacceptable to engage, or it is being designed but not yet built, or it may simply not exist.Key issues in modeling and simulation include the acquisition of valid sources of information about the relevant selection of key characteristics and behaviors used to build the model, the use of simplifying approximations and assumptions within the model, and fidelity and validity of the simulation outcomes. Procedures and protocols for model verification and validation are an ongoing field of academic study, refinement, research and development in simulations technology or practice, particularly in the work of computer simulation.
Hello! I want to simulate (numerically if analytically is not possible) the behavior of a 2 level system, when driven by a laser (basically transition probability vs laser frequency for fixed pulsed time) accounting for the laser and atomic linewidth (in my case I can assume they are...
When I simulate a point isotropic gamma source in mcnp usually number of particle histories to the tally region (let say a detector placed at 30 cm from point source) is much low (few hundreds only) as compared to actually particle histories (1.0E7), Will it be correct if convert isotropic...
Hi everyone.
is it possible to simulate low energy photon in wavelength range (300 nm to 1000 nm) in MCNP. If not possible in mcnp please suggest any other code to simulate it.
thanks
I am interested to calculate dose rate (gy/h, rad/h) from a point source at a certain distance through MCNP. If I use F6 tally it will give answer in Mev/g which can be converted to Gray or rad by using FM card, but I don't know how can I find dose rate like rad/h or g/h.?
Hello all,
I am doing a monte Carlo simulation using Wolff algorithm for the 2D/3D Ising and classical 3D Heisenberg model, I have been told that the rule of thumb is to make your decorrelation steps = 10*L where L is the size of lattice, and this is would be sufficient enough to make...

Was reading about a simulation and there isn't any mention about what amount of time it takes to start and to run.
Since they're potentially on a supercomputer, maybe not a long time.
I have no idea what to expect though. Do you sit at it like a regular desktop and press play, then it starts...
I am using Multisim software and I am comparing my calculated voltage gain with the one, done by Multisim.
