What are the advantages and limitations of simulation models?

 

Advantages

• It lessens the risk of possible harm brought about to life.
• Conditions are easily modified for a particular observation
• Simulations can be done at a pace faster than what it would usually take for physical models
• Consequently, simulations can be slowed down for a more in-depth analysis of a particular behavior.

Disadvantages

• Could potentially be expensive as more complicated computer models are needed
• Necessary assumptions should be made about an observation
• The accuracy of the simulations depends greatly on the knowledge of all factors involved.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Step-by-step explanation
