Abstract:
A method of generating a display, on a display device, of a simulation model including first and second objects between which a relationship condition exists, the method including:displaying, on the display device, respective first and second node representations for the first and second objects;determining user selection of a link representation from a set of link representations to represent the relationship condition between the first and second objects, each link representation in the set being associated with a different relationship condition; anddisplaying, on the display device, the selected link representation to represent the relationship condition between the first and second objects;wherein a first link representation of the set of link representations is user selectable to represent that the first object has an effect on the second object and a second link representation of the set of link representations is user selectable to represent that instances of the first object are converted to instances of the second object.
