ABSTRACT
With the Ideality equation populated, you’re in a position to run scenarios for optimization, a task for various modeling techniques. Although there are many such techniques, and many that can be applied to a TRIZ-type problem or scenario, three are used most often: function modeling, substance-field modeling, and many-little-people modeling. Of course, the overall purpose of modeling is to characterize how the presence of and/or changes in certain variables affect other variables, as well as the overall operation of a system. But the real value of modeling in TRIZ is to draw out important contradictions in your system.
