Disadvantages of Simulation
- Accurate simulation model development requires extensive resources.
- The simulation results are only as good as the model and as such are still only estimates / projected outcomes.
- Optimisation can only be performed involving a few alternatives as the model is usually developed using a limited number of variables.
- Simulations cost a lot of money to build and are very expensive to make

Famous quotes containing the words disadvantages of and/or simulation:
“If the factory people outside the colleges live under the discipline of narrow means, the people inside live under almost every other kind of discipline except that of narrow means—from the fruity austerities of learning, through the iron rations of English gentlemanhood, down to the modest disadvantages of occupying cold stone buildings without central heating and having to cross two or three quadrangles to take a bath.”
—Margaret Halsey (b. 1910)
“Life, as the most ancient of all metaphors insists, is a journey; and the travel book, in its deceptive simulation of the journey’s fits and starts, rehearses life’s own fragmentation. More even than the novel, it embraces the contingency of things.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
