<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of generating a display or representation of a simulation model within a graphical user interface (GUI). <P>SOLUTION: The simulation model includes some objects which include state, a function, a link and modifier objects. The method commences with the display of node representations for at least first and second objects. Thereafter, a link representation which represents an underlying link object is selected from a prescribed set of link representations so as to represent a desired relation condition between the first and the second objects. Each link representation of the set is associated with a distinct relation condition. Each relation condition is further determined in terms of an underlying equation. Thereafter, the selected link representation is shown so as to extend between the respective node representations representing the first and the second objects. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
