Simulation and Simulation Environment=
Every simulation aims at describing the observed system as accurately as possible in order to be able to model the behavior of the real system. A vehicle or part of a vehicle as well as, if necessary, a part of its environment can be referred to as a system.
The vehicle models are purely mathematical in nature. Thus running a simulation is equivalent to the running of software.
