Terminating Simulations | Non-Terminating simulations |
---|---|
Runs for some duration of time $T_E$, where E is a specified event that stops the simulation. | Runs continuously, or at least over a very long period of time. |
Bank example: Opens at 8:30 am (time 0) with no customers present and 8 of the 11 teller working (initial conditions), and closes at 4:30 pm (Time $T_E$ = 480 minutes) | Examples: assembly lines that shut down infrequently, telephone systems, hospital emergency rooms. |
Ends at the stopping time $T_E$. | Runs continuously. |
