Top 10 Modeling and Simulation Services

Labs Explorer on January 11, 2018

When developing a new product or studying a system, you need to test it to understand its behavior. But tests in the real world are costly and the functioning of the system can be very complex and depend on several factors.

Thus, models are used to represent the system or part of the system in a determined state whether it is a physical, mathematical, or otherwise logical representation. When a model is established, a simulation is applied to manipulate the model under specific conditions to study it.

Modeling and simulation provide analysis, experimentation, and training. It helps to understand the system without having to test it in the real world.

Simulations have several advantages over real experimentations:

  • Simulations are often cheaper, safer and sometimes more ethical. For example, computer simulations are applied to simulate nuclear explosion or natural disasters like hurricanes or epidemics.
  • In some fields, simulations enable more realistic analysis than a traditional experiment. The engineers can apply conditions like supporting pressure in deep water or the outer space for space devices.
  • Simulations are frequently faster than a real-time experiment.

In scientific research modeling and simulation is important to represent real systems via smaller-scale physical reproductions or via mathematical models. It enables to explore system behavior and see interactions that would not otherwise be apparent because of their separation in time or space or too risky in the real world.

Frequently cheaper and safer than real-world experiments, modeling and simulations have applications in many fields such as engineering, biology, physics, astronomy.

It often takes time to find the CRO which corresponds to your needs. Here you can find a selection of services which can be useful for you.
