    Because most simulation programs require a ground in a circuit as a reference to calculate all the voltages and currents from.

    I do not answer private messages asking for help because no one else can: benefit from advice I may give or correct me if I'm wrong.

    Please ask on the open forum if you have a question and I'll be happy to help,
    if I know the answer.

    is it just for samulation program not in real life
    and how the samulation program calculate the voltage and current from the ground

    I've never heard of a samulation program; do you mean a simulation program?

    Yes, it's probably just the simulation program that requires a ground but any well-drawn schematic should have a 0V rail or ground connection clearly marked.

    ground
    The point of a simulation program is to predict what will happen in real life
