{{short description|Computer modeling of time-varying behavior of a dynamical system}}
'''DynamicDynamical system simulation''' (or '''dynamic system simulation)''' is the use of a computer program to model the time-varying behavior of a [[dynamical system]]. The systems are typically described by [[ordinary differential equations]] or [[partial differential equations]]. A simulation run solves the state-equation system to find the behavior of the state variables over a specified period of time. The equation is solved through numerical integration methods to produce the transient behavior of the state variables. Simulation of dynamic systems predicts the values of model-system state variables, as they are determined by the past state values. This relationship is found by creating a model of the system.{{sfnp|Korn|2007|p=2}}
