LITERATURE REVIEW

2.0 INTRODUCTION

A book by Devendra K. Chaturvedi Modeling and Simulation of Systems

says, the word simulation is derived from the Latin word simulare, which mean
pretend. Simulation is thus an inexpensive and safe way to experiment with the
system model. However, the simulation results depend entirely on the quality of
the system model. It is a powerful technique for solving a wide variety of
problems.
Simulation is a powerful tool if understood and used properly. This introduction to
simulation tutorial is designed to teach the basics of simulation, including structure,
function, data generated, and its proper use. The introduction starts with a definition of
simulation, goes through a talk about what makes up a simulation, how the simulation
actually works, and how to handle data generated by the simulation. Throughout the
paper, there is discussion on issues concerning the use of simulation in industry
We will apply simulation in our Sago Tree Trunk Splitter to show on how
exactly the movement of the project and how it’s work.

2.1 TYPE OF SIMULATION

A book by Devendra K. Chaturvedi Modeling and Simulation of
Systems says, there are a various type of simulations depending upon the type
of model, physical simulation deals with the experimentation of physical
prototype of real system. In this case, the real input(scaled) is applied to the
model and its output is compared with the real system. Sometimes, electrical
analogous systems are also used in this type of simulation.
Another type of simulation is numerical simulation of mathematical
models. This is very common in system approach. After the development of
digital computers, this type of simulation has gained popularity because it is
easy to develop and modify. Numerical simulation is also sequential simulation
because the calculations proceed in a time sequence. Computers are used to
imitate or simulate the operations of various kinds of real-world facilities or
processes. The facilities or process of interest is usually called a system, and in
order to study it scientifically, we often have to make a set of assumptions about
how it works. These assumptions usually take the form of mathematical or
logical relationships and constitute a model that is used to gain some
understanding of how the corresponding system behaves.
