Visualitation of the model underlying the simulation environments; the way to visualise a concept models

There are a lot of solutions for a visualization problem of the model in simulation programs. A solution for a visualization of a fenomena is a special representation of the concept model: sometimes a picture, a scheme or a mathematical model. There are also a lot of solutions to make inclick regions for making an intervention (in the underlying model in a part of a simulation program). The next figures will give some solutions of visualisations of concept-models:

Fig. 1. This is a visualization of a model in the way of an abstract picture with inclick regions within the picture and outside the picture. It is also possible to make invisible inclick regions. In the button left you see such regions around the parameter R. (Min, 1997, in practicumhandleiding MacSimAuthor, etc.)

Fig. 2. This is a visualization of a model in the way of an abstract picture with 3 intervention possibilities coupled to parameters and 3 display attributes coupled to variabels. In the picture you also see display attributes with the value 3478. Interventions can take place by 'scroll bars' or by 'thumbwheels' ('duimwielschakelaars').

Fig. 3. This is a visualization of a model in the form of a picture from the real-life. Here: a house and a heater with inclick regions outside the picture. Interventions can take place by 'scroll bars' or by 'thumbwheels'. The designer can take black closed circles or points or open circles.

Fig. 4. This is a visualization of a model in the form of a black box with inclick regions.

Fig. 5. This is a visualisation of a model in the form of a feed back system (a kind of an black box concept) (with inclick regions).

Fig. 6. This is a visualization of a model in the form of a moving object (a ball) with inclick regions, different presentations of data, etc. The student is able to click in two regions and two places on the wall to change a parameter value (here: w).

Fig. 7. This is a visualization of a model in the form of a reaction formula with inclick regions in k1, k2 en k0.

Fig. 8. This is a visualization in the form of two first order differantional equations with inclick regions around a, b, c, d and e. The differentional equations are a concept in itself.
