Scribble answered Thursday May 4 2006, 2:30 am:
Any device or concept- usually mechanical- that determines to mimic (or 'simulate'- see what I did there) a set of of parameters or circumstances. This is normally defined as attempting to copy 'real life' or as close to an actual experience of something as is possible. normally simulators are limited to a single scenario (flying a plane, driving a car, charting the movements of animals).

Simulators are normally used to practice the skills needed for an event which is dangerous or expensive (learning to land a plane BEFORE you really have to land a plane) or trying to figure out how data might change in the future (like what a particular area might look like if rainfall carried on in the same manner etc).

I put a lot of effort into the wording of that answer. If this question turns out to be spam- shame on you!!
