Standard models include normal, binomial, beta, uniform, Poisson, exponential, and other probability distributions. Each has a specific set of assumptions and parameters. Real-world (empirical) systems can have any distribution imaginable. Simulation can mimic these real-world distributions by the use of random number intervals based on real-world behavior, and can therefore generate more realistic models than would occur if a standard model were used in place of a system-specific one.
