Noun
Context #1 | Noun

creating representations

Modelling refers to the process of creating representations of objects, systems, or concepts to understand their structure and behavior. It is widely used in various fields such as science, engineering, and art. In science, modelling may involve constructing physical or mathematical representations of biological systems to study their dynamics. In engineering, computer-aided design (CAD) software often employs modelling techniques to visualize and simulate designs. The purpose of modelling is to simplify complex realities into understandable formats to make predictions or facilitate analysis.

Synonyms

design, prototype, representation, simulation.

Examples of usage

  • The modelling of climate change impacts is crucial for future planning.
  • Architects use 3D modelling to present their designs.
  • Mathematical modelling helps in predicting economic trends.
  • In biology, modelling is essential for understanding ecosystems.

Etymology

The term 'modelling' originates from the Middle English word 'moddle', which means to mold or shape. The concept evolved from the Latin 'modulus', meaning 'a small measure or model'. Historically, the practice of modelling has been prevalent since ancient times, with artisans creating models from clay or other materials to prototype their designs. The use of modelling has expanded significantly with advancements in technology, particularly in the 20th century, where it became integral to design processes across various disciplines. With the advent of computers, digital modelling tools emerged, allowing for incredibly detailed and accurate representations in fields like architecture, engineering, and filmmaking. Today, modelling continues to evolve, incorporating artificial intelligence and virtual reality technologies to enhance its applications and efficiency.
