Computer simulation is the use of a computer-generated system to represent the dynamic of a real or proposed system. A mathematical description of a system is developed as a computer program that uses equations to represent the functional relationships within . When the program is run, the resulting mathematical dynamics form an analog, usually represented graphically, of the behaviour of the modeled system. Variables in the program can be adjusted to simulate in the system. Computer simulations are used to study the behaviour of objects or systems that cannot be easily or safely tested in real life, such as weather patterns or a nuclear . Simpler simulations performed by personal computers are business models and geometric .
Servomechanism is a device used to correct the performance of a mechanism automatically, of error-sensing feedback. The term properly applies only to systems in which the feedback and error-correction signals mechanical position or velocity. Servomechanisms were first in military and marine navigation equipment. Today they are used in automatic machine tools, satellite-tracking antennas, celestial-tracking systems on telescopes, automatic navigation systems, and antiaircraft-gun systems. The design of servomechanisms is considered to be a branch of both robotics and .
