Computer simulation dramatically expanded modeling’s power over physical models

Evidence

Modelling of an object or phenomenon by means of constructing another kind of system that simulates the original phenomenon or object but is easier to experiment with. The first modelling techniques were based on constructing concrete, physical objects as models. The modern approach, using computer-based simulation, has expanded the capability of modelling techniques dramatically. — Ville Pulkki, Matti Karjalainen, Communication Acoustics- An…, 102
