Design generic model

Some of the same patterns of relationships and constraints crop up frequently in modeling and design. In a package separate from our project-specific models, we can define a generic modeling framework for resource allocation it acts as a macro-like template that can be applied in many places. A template can contain any of the modeling constructs in the form of both diagrams and text. Additionally, any name can be written as a placeholder which will be substituted when it is applied to a model."... 

Several process control design methods, such as the Generic Model Control (GMC) [41], the Globally Linearizing Control (GLC) [37], the Internal Decoupling Control (IDC) [7], the reference system synthesis [8], and the Nonlinear Internal Model Control (NIMC) [29], are based on input-output linearization. 

On the next lower layer, approximately 200 Templates are introduced (cf. part 7 of ISO 15926). A Template retrieves classes from the Data Model and correlates them via n-ary relations that way, it defines a configuration of interconnected classes, which jointly represent some generic modeling concept. Thus, Templates are comparable to the Design Patterns described in Subsect. 2.6.2. 

In the railroad industry, structures usually are designed by applying static load assumptions. In reality, however, cyclic loading, creep, temperature, and environmental influences occur which should be considered in adhesive joint design. Generic physical models taking into account all the possible effects are not applicable for a practical design concept.

The generic model suggests that the same methodology may be appropriate for the design of toasters, tankers, buses, houses, tools, service stations, and, indeed, virtually any product. 

Like the Cooke model, the Lenz model [77] is a generic model for membranes, but it has been designed for studying internal phase transitions. Therefore, it puts a slightly higher emphasis on conformational degrees of freedom than the Cooke model. Lipids are represented by semiflexible linear chains of seven beads (one for the head group, six for the tail), which interact with truncated Lennard-Jones potentials. Model parameters such as the chain stiffness are inspired by the properties of hydrocarbon tails [78]. The model includes an explicit solvent, which is, however, modeled such that it is simulated very efficiently it interacts only with lipid beads and not with itself ( phantom solvent [79]).
