Simulation: Approximates a real or imaginary experience where users' actions affect their outcomes. Users specify initial conditions that generate output dependent on those conditions.
Animation: Allows users to view the dynamic and visual representation of concepts, models, processes, and/or phenomena in space or time. Users cannot specify the initial conditions or the resulting outcomes.
