Never. Simulations cannot replace observational data.
Data, which, in the sciences comes from observations, and theory are
necessary to write and run a(n accurate ) simulation.
yes, of course you can run any simulation you want, but to be
accurate, it must be based on data+theory and checked against
more data.
