THIS IS FROM Jose's work on Simulations (post 6)
Strengths are based on the economic benefits because every product could be evaluated before its implementation. Smith (1998) mentions: " simulation allows the analysis of a system's capabilities and behavior without requiring the construction of or experimentation with a real system". In education you had the chance to increase skills and learning of students in the classroom and in health sciences you could guarantee the patient safety.
The weakness is the high prices of these equipments (simulators), making them not affordable by many industries, educational institutions and healthcare providers. Also this equipment doesn't guarantee the simulations of real problems in its totality. Smith (1998) state: " the problems of interest in the real world are usually much more complicated" . In overall simulation have more strengthens than weakness.
