Computer implemented object oriented visualization system and method

摘要

A computer architecture for executing a simulation model which describes characteristics of a physical system. The computer architecture includes an editor processor that prompts a user to define a graphical object (GO) representing static properties of the physical system, and that prompts the user to define dynamic variables of the physical system. The computer architecture also includes a compiler for binding the dynamic variables of the physical system to a physical data source. The physical data source provides dynamic properties of the physical system over time as values for the dynamic variables. The computer architecture also includes a run time processor that executes the simulation model and displays the graphical object with the dynamic properties of the physical system.
