Description
I will discuss the results from numerical simulations of star cluster formation and evolution. I will review what has been learnt from numerical simulations regarding how the properties of low-mass stellar clusters and their stars depend on initial conditions, such as metallicity, molecular cloud density, magnetic fields, and turbulence. I will also discuss how these clusters may be expected to disperse into the galactic population of field stars, and possible kinematic signatures of dispersing stellar populations.
