For more sophisticated simulations Discrete Event Simulation (DES) is used with the advantages to simulate dynamics in the production system.

During the pre-silicon process, engineers test devices in a virtual environment with sophisticated simulation, emulation, and formal verification tools.

In studying computer simulations of life, some theorists have argued that sophisticated simulations are themselves primitive life forms.

We have the same problems calculating the trajectories of spacecraft, and to do it here at J.P.L., we have to use a very sophisticated numerical simulation.

Renie found herself wishing she had a more sophisticated simulation to work with, something that would give her a real idea of how the tanks could perform.

Despite sophisticated simulations with models, engineers have not yet shown that they fully grasp the mysteries of the tides.

Alexander Gambotto-Burke from The Guardian describes it as "an astonishingly sophisticated simulation of the Israel/Palestine conflict".

The developers attempted to combine role-playing elements with "a sophisticated three-dimensional simulation of a sensible and believable world".

Many new programs are sophisticated simulations that allow students to visualize on a computer phenomena that would be physically impossible or prohibitively expensive to experience outside the classroom.

Technology advanced to the point that sophisticated simulations were now readily available to learners, thus providing more authentic and realistic learning experiences.
