User interface for a modeling environment

A computer-implemented system comprising:

• a storage medium to:
• store executable instructions for providing a modeling environment using the system, the modeling environment configured to provide for development of one or more models using a plurality of model elements, the one or more models being one or more of:
• a time-based model, an event-based model, a state-based model, a dataflow-based model, a model in a dynamically typed language or an array-based language, or a model based on class diagrams, object diagrams, activity diagrams, use case diagrams, scenario diagrams, requirements diagrams, physics based diagrams, truth tables, or state transition matrices;
• a processor to:
• execute the executable instructions to provide the modeling environment,
• interact with a model in the modeling environment,
• receive a first input instruction to add one or more model elements of the plurality of model elements to the model,
• receive a second input instruction and create an executable input instruction, where the executable input instruction represents the second input instruction and instructs the modeling environment to perform one or more of:
• an analyzing operation to generate, output, or manipulate the added one or more model elements,
• an editing operation to alter the modeling environment or to alter the model, or
• a navigating operation to change a manner in which all or part of the model is displayed, and
• generate an output instruction based on the executable input instruction, the output instruction being utilized by an output device to generate at least one of:
• a tactile output representing tactile feedback, the tactile feedback being based on results of the one or more operations, or
• a haptic output representing haptic feedback, the haptic feedback being based on results of the one or more operations.

A computer-implemented method for modeling comprising:

• providing a modeling environment, the modeling environment configured to provide for development of one or more models using a plurality of model elements, the one or more models being one or more of:
• a time-based model, an event-based model, a state-based model, a dataflow-based model, a model in a dynamically typed language or an array-based language, or a model based on class diagrams, object diagrams, activity diagrams, use case diagrams, scenario diagrams, requirements diagrams, physics based diagrams, truth tables, or state transition matrices;
• interacting with a model in the modeling environment;
• adding one or more model elements of the plurality of model elements to the model;
• receiving an input instruction;
• creating an executable input instruction, where the executable input instruction represents the input instruction and instructs the modeling environment to perform one or more of:
• an analyzing operation to generate, output, or manipulate information related to the model or results of executing the model,
• an editing operation to alter the modeling environment or to alter the model, or
• a navigating operation to change a manner in which all or part of the model is displayed;
• and
• generating an output instruction based on the executable input instruction, the output instruction being utilized by an output device to generate at least one of:
• a tactile output representing tactile feedback, the tactile feedback being based on results of the one or more operations, or
• a haptic output representing haptic feedback, the haptic feedback being based on results of the one or more operations.

One or more tangible non-transitory computer-readable media holding computer-executable instructions for operating a modeling environment using a computer, the media holding one or more instructions for:

• providing a modeling environment, the modeling environment configured to provide for development of one or more models using a plurality of model elements, the one or more models being one or more of:
• a time-based model, an event-based model, a state-based model, a dataflow-based model, a model in a dynamically typed language or an array-based language, or a model based on class diagrams, object diagrams, activity diagrams, use case diagrams, scenario diagrams, requirements diagrams, physics based diagrams, truth tables, or state transition matrices;
• interacting with a model in the modeling environment;
• adding one or more model elements of the plurality of model elements to the model;
• receiving an input instruction;
• creating an executable input instruction, where the executable input instruction represents the input instruction and instructs the modeling environment to perform one or more of:
• an analyzing operation to generate, output, or manipulate information related to the model or results of executing the model,
• an editing operation to alter the modeling environment or to alter the model, or
• a navigating operation to change a manner in which all or part of the model is displayed;
• and
• generating an output instruction based on the executable input instruction, the output instruction being utilized by an output device to generate at least one of:
• a tactile output representing tactile feedback, the tactile feedback being based on results of the one or more operations, or
• a haptic output representing haptic feedback, the haptic feedback being based on results of the one or more operations.
