Basic Forms of Model Representation

Mechatronics by Bond Graphs

Abstract

The solution of complex, real-world problems is based on modelling . A model simplifies the system of interest by abstracting some subset of its observable attributes. This focuses attention on those features of the system relevant to the problem of interest, and excludes others deemed not to be of direct relevance to the problem. The level of detail included in a model thus depends on the problem to be solved—as well as on the problem solver.
