Modeling Washington Technology Magnet IED
Modeling • The act of representing designs or ideas in various forms in order to present or evaluate a design. • Concept Modeling • Graphical Modeling • Mathematical Modeling • Computer Modeling • Physical Modeling
Concept Modeling Listing or mapping the concepts involved in a design or process under investigation. • Example: Designing a Theme Park • Perhaps the first step to designing a theme park would be to create a list of the rides, attractions, and facilities that would be included in the design. • Easy access to major transportation system • Circular pattern of attractions • A theme (fairy tale, nations, sports) • Access to Emergency Medical facilities • Etc.
Concept Modeling • Example: Solve Global Warming
Graphical Modeling Representing information in the form of charts, graphs, maps, or geometric figures. • Example: Mapping the Ocean Floor
Graphical Modeling • Example: Sketches and Drawings
Graphical Modeling • Example: Graphs and Charts
Mathematical Modeling Using mathematical equations or geometric representations to predict or model a phenomenon or behavior. • Example: Designing a Beverage Container • Design a cylindrical beverage container to hold a given volume of liquid. V = π r2h
Mathematical Modeling • Example: Garbage Production in York County
Computer Modeling Using a computer and software to create a representation of an object or concept. • Can include • 3D modeling of parts • Modeling of structures for structural analysis • Modeling of circuits for circuit analysis • Modeling of chemical processes to check reactions and byproducts, etc.
Computer Modeling • Example: Soap Dish Design (in Inventor)
Computer Modeling • Example: Structural Frame Model
Computer Modeling • Example: Circuit Model
Physical Modeling Using physical materials to create a representation of an object or concept. • Mock-up: An appearance model used to present the general concept of a design • Scale Model: A representation of a design that is either larger or smaller than the actual model • Prototype: A working model of the actual design
Physical Model • Example: Scale Model
Physical Model • Example: Mock-up Key Chain Automatic Dog Feeder
Physical Model • Example: Prototype Cross Country Training Ski Portable Wind Turbine Visible Toaster
