Simulations suggest there may have been several generations of Galilean satellites in Jupiter's early history.

Simulations of the evolution of the Oort cloud from the beginnings of the Solar System to the present suggest that the cloud's mass peaked around 800 million years after formation, as the pace of accretion and collision slowed and depletion began to overtake supply.

Simulations of the chaotic period of terrestrial planet formation suggest that impacts, such as those hypothesized to form the Moon, are common.

Simulations of systems in vacuum are referred to as gas-phase simulations, while those that include the presence of solvent molecules are referred to as explicit solvent simulations.

It was while with this company, still known as Automated Simulations in 1980, that Freeman met his future wife, Anne Westfall, at a computer fair.

Simulations typically divide up each dimension into discrete segments, so a one dimensional simulation might involve only 100 points, while a similarly accurate two dimensional simulation would require 10, 000.

Simulations have shown that the presence of a binary companion can actually improve the rate of planet formation within stable orbital zones by " stirring up " the protoplanetary disk, increasing the accretion rate of the protoplanets within.

In 1982 Avalon Hill hired some of the design staff from Simulations Publications, Inc. ( SPI ), which had just been bought by TSR, Inc, and formed them into a subsidiary company, Victory Games.

Meanwhile, he had founded his own company, Simulations Publications Inc. ( SPI ), which issued games and published the magazine Strategy & Tactics.

In terms of game design, Sperry stated, " The inspiration for Dune II was partly from Populous, partly from my work on Eye Of The Beholder and the final and perhaps most crucial part came from an argument I once had with Chuck Kroegel, then vice president of Strategic Simulations Inc ...

The Longbow series of simulation games was developed at Origin and published under the " Jane's Combat Simulations " brand of Electronic Arts.

MacDonald became Senior Game Developer at the software company Strategic Simulations, Inc .. Peterson went to work for Electronic Arts, and then became a freelance marketing consultant and technical writer, but remained most connected with Hero Games of the original three.

* Optopo Group — Simulations and bibliography of the optopo group at Ecole Polytechnique ( France ).

Simulations can be done on a lattice of any desired geometry of embedding dimension, in fact this has been done in up to 8 dimensions, or the simulation can be done more along the lines of a standard molecular dynamics simulation where a particle is allowed to freely random walk until it gets within a certain critical range at which time it is pulled onto the cluster.

In September 2004 Henry and David Kaemmer founded iRacing. com Motorsport Simulations for developing a racing simulation service aimed at both real-world racers and racing simulator enthusiasts.

* AIRES ( AIRshower Extended Simulations ): Large and well documented Fortran package for simulating cosmic ray showers by Sergio Sciutto at the Department of Physics of the Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentina

Rescue at Rigel is a 1980 science fiction computer role-playing game written and published by Automated Simulations ( later known as Epyx ), and later branded as part of the Starquest series.

Simulations of this system ( or a simple linear perturbation analysis ) demonstrate that such systems are definitely not stable: any motion away from the perfect geometric configuration causes an oscillation, eventually leading to the disruption of the system ( Klemperer's original article also states this fact ).

Although popular with wargaming fans, the magazine ran into financial trouble in 1969, and Jim Dunnigan agreed to take it over, founding Simulations Publications, Inc. ( SPI ) to publish S & T.

Strategic Simulations, Inc. ( SSI ) was a video game developer and publisher with over 100 titles to its credit since its founding in 1979.

Simulations by the Deep Ecliptic Survey ( DES ) show that over the next 10 million years Orcus can acquire a perihelion distance ( qmin ) as small as 27. 8 AU.

Simulations by the Deep Ecliptic Survey ( DES ) show that over the next 10 million years Huya can acquire a perihelion distance ( qmin ) as small as 27. 28 AU.

Simulations have other advantages as well: they do not require the time and expertise associated with fabricating NEMS devices ; they can effectively predict the interrelated roles of various electromechanical effects ; and parametric studies can be conducted fairly readily as compared with experimental approaches.

The most important of these were undoubtedly Strategy & Tactics, and the company founded to save it from failing: Simulations Publications, Inc. ( SPI ).

Simulations are useful in modeling the flow of transactions through business processes, such as in the field of sales process engineering, to study and improve the flow of customer orders through various stages of completion ( say, from an initial proposal for providing goods / services through order acceptance and installation ).

Simulations of near vertical impacts show that this basin should have dug up vast amounts of mantle materials from depths as great as 200 km below the surface.

The scenario was created by TSR designers Jim Ward, David Cook, Steve Winter, and Mike Breault, and coded by programmers from Strategic Simulations, Inc's Special Projects team.

Simulations show that the number of surviving planets is on average from 2 to 5.

Much more successful among early mod making tools was the 1992 Forgotten Realms Unlimited Adventures from Strategic Simulations, Inc., which allowed users to construct games based on the game world that was launched with the Pool of Radiance game.

As a video game producer, Pony Canyon brought the Ultima series from Origin Systems and the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons series from Strategic Simulations to the Nintendo Family Computer.

A wargaming enthusiast since high school, Grubb began playing Avalon Hill wargames and later got interested in playing Panzerblitz, Blitzkrieg, and Frigate from Simulations Publications, Inc. ( SPI ).

Board games include Risk: Lord of the Rings Trilogy Edition and another simply entitled Lord of the Rings, as well as the Middle Earth Games from Simulations Publications, Inc. containing the games War of the Ring ( strategic, covering all three books ), Gondor ( tactical, covering the siege of Minas Tirith ) and Sauron ( covering the decisive battle of the Second Age ) in 1977.

Simulations of simple StatArb strategies by Khandani and Lo show that the returns to such strategies have been reduced considerably from 1998 to 2007, presumably because of competition.

It was produced in English by Wizards of the Coast, who purchased the rights to the name Duel Masters from Reality Simulations, Inc., which ran a play-by-mail gladiator game called Duelmasters, now known as Duel2.

Grigsby's games were published by Strategic Simulations, Inc. ( SSI ) from his first game design in 1982 until 1997.

( 2008 ): " Hurricanes and Global Warming: Results from Downscaling IPCC AR4 Simulations ".

With funding from FASA and from a Japanese investor, Jordan founded Environmental Simulations Project — later renamed Virtual Worlds Entertainment — in 1990, the company that produced the BattleTech Centers.

The game provides three choices: players may select a pre-made character, create their own, or import characters from previous Strategic Simulations Dungeons & Dragons computer games, such as Pool of Radiance and Curse of the Azure Bonds.
