What's the difference between a computer simulation and a spreadsheet?

The spreadsheet is usually the result of the simulation.

Note also that the original purpose of the spreadsheet is complex math, which can include simulation. I thought that was the sense of spreadsheet you were using, rather than 'table of data generated by something else'.
