Benefits of Models
1. Time compression
2. Easy model manipulation
3. Low cost of construction
4. Low cost of execution (especially that of errors)
5. Can model risk and uncertainty
6. Can model large and extremely complex systems with
possibly infinite solutions
7. Enhance and reinforce learning, and enhance training.
Computer graphics advances: more iconic and analog
models (visual simulation)
