ABSTRACT
The word “model” is a generic term referring to a conceptual or physical entity that resembles, mimics, describes, predicts, or conveys information about the behavior of some process or system. The benefit of having a model is to be able to explore the intrinsic behavior of a system in an economical and safe manner. The physical system being modeled may be inaccessible or even nonexistent as in the case of a new design for an aircraft or automotive component.
