The discussion revolves around the application of simulation programs in various industries, exploring ideas ranging from simple data calculations to complex 3D simulations. Participants share their thoughts on the potential of simulation programs and seek examples of unique or unconventional applications that could be profitable.
Participants express a range of views on the definition of "ridiculous" in relation to simulation programs, indicating a lack of consensus on this term. There is also a shared recognition of the potential value of simulation in industries, but differing opinions on its current status and implementation challenges.
Participants highlight limitations in the recognition of simulation expertise within companies and the complexity of knowledge management in simulation processes. There are unresolved questions regarding specific applications and the effectiveness of various simulation approaches.
What do you mean by "ridiculous"? Are you looking for the simulation equivalent of the Pet Rock?fredreload said:I'd like an idea about simulation programs and how it can be applied to industries. Here is some of the simulation program ideas I happen to run across on Google. All the way from data calculations, 2D cell game to 3D crash proof simulations. I want to hear your thoughts and some of the most ridiculous programs that would earn you cash.
For instance, Agar.io. You'd be able to run it as a simulation and check for the average size of the cells. Or since I work for a shoe company as a software programmer. I'd do a simulation on the shoe retirement rate versus the general population to check how many shoes would get sold. I think simulation program deserves to have its own office inside a company, but I've never seen such a thing established.FactChecker said:What do you mean by "ridiculous"?

Oh! A lot of airframe manufacturers have flight simulators. They are specialized for the avionics and handling qualities of their particular product. That may interest you.fredreload said:Cool, ridiculous as of the most interesting simulation you've heard that actually earns money.
I work in a chemical company and even there that is a problem. Main reason: almost everyone does it, so the need for genuine expertise isn't considered seriously. In the mean time millions worth of process knowledge is buried unrecognizably and non-transferable in convoluted spreadsheet monsters.fredreload said:I think simulation program deserves to have its own office inside a company, but I've never seen such a thing established.
I'm not really good with Chemistry myself. I'd say you can probably analyze the formula with the http://image.slidesharecdn.com/bioknotes2-140817015317-phpapp02/95/bioknowledgy-21-molecules-to-metabolism-11-638.jpg?cb=1410336771, then test if the combination with a variable compound can be constructed(based on atomic number and type of bonds). I'm not sure if the 3D diagram angle would be a factor. You can probably create your own molecular design as well using a simulation. It might be easier for someone to work out the software firstBvU said:I work in a chemical company and even there that is a problem.

I always call simulation and modelling "a horizontal column" -- a base for all other organizational columns, but in reality treated as part of a ruin.
IT has gone the same route somewhat.
