5. Modelling - Mathematical
โข Uses mathematical formulas and problems to predict the
results of design
โข Examples
โ Current through the resistor
โ ๐ = ๐ผ โ ๐

7. Modelling - Physical
โข 3-D replicas of the final design of a solution
โข Used to illustrate the design, test the design, or experiment
with materials
โข Falls under 2 categories
โ Mock-up
โ Prototype
7
8. Modelling - Physical
โข Mock-up
โ Either full size or scaled do increase or decrease the size of the
object
โ Usually created with paper, cardboard, foamboard
โ Used to simulate the appearance of the final product
โ Not a working model
8
10. Modelling - Physical
โข Prototype
โ Used to simulate the function of the final product
โ A working model using rapid prototyping
