Abstract
An object-oriented, computer-based system for developing simulation models is provided. The system comprises one or more base objects and one or more graphical processes, wherein new objects are created from base objects by a user by assigning one or more graphical processes to the base object(s). New objects are created without the need for methods or computer programming. A model is built by creating objects that represent the physical components of the system being modeled into the model, and then running the model.
Claims17
A computer-based system for developing simulation models on a physical computing device, the system comprising one or more base objects and one or more graphical processes, wherein a new object is created from a base object by a user by assigning one or more graphical processes to the base object.
A computer-implemented method of creating a new object in a computer-based modeling system that runs on a physical computing device, the method comprising the step of assigning one or more graphical processes to a base object, a derived object or a composite object, to create the new object.
A computer-implemented method of modeling a physical system, the method comprising the steps of 1) graphically combining one or more base, derived, and/or composite objects in a computer-based modeling system that represent physical components of the physical system being modeled, and 2) running the model on a physical computing device.
