Information about Modeling

A model is a pattern, plan, representation, or description designed to show the structure or workings of an object, system, or concept. And also it is a study of a miniature of the actual. Model may also refer to:

Abstractions, concepts, and theories: As representations of objects:
  • Model (physical), a physical representation of an object
  • Solid modeling, study of unambiguous representations of the solid parts of an object
  • Scale model, a replica or prototype of an object
  • Model building, a hobby centered around construction of material replicas
  • 3D model, a 3D polygonal representation of an object, usually displayed with a computer
In human and animal behavior
  • An organism (or set of signals originating from it) that is mimicked by another.
  • Mental model, a person's cognitive representation of an idea or thought process
  • Modeling (NLP), a process in neuro-linguistic programming
  • Modelling (psychology), learning by imitating or observing a person's behavior
  • Role model, a person who serves as a behavioural or moral example to others
In occupations: In history and culture: In lighting:
  • Modeling means how a key light reveals the three dimensional form of a subject
  • Modeling light,a continuous lightsource that visualizes the effect of a photographic flash
In geography:
  • Model, Colorado, an unincorporated town in the United States
  • Model (Poland) - a village in Poland in Masovia Voivodeship in gostyniński county in Pacyna commune
