System Complexity and theUnderstandability of Models

• As the systems that are being analyzed by mathematical models have grown in complexity over the years, they have become increasingly difficult to interpret and maintain.

• Modelers need to concern themselves with the understandability and maintainability of their models.

• Tools need to be developed that support them in this endeavor.


Object-oriented Modeling• The object-oriented modeling paradigm enables the modeler

to encapsulate knowledge in such a way that snippets of knowledge can be translated to a language familiar to the domain expert.

• The complexity of the models is locally contained by encapsulation and hierarchical composition of models.

• Models are being made more easily understandable by exploiting the two-dimensional nature of planar graphics.


Graphical Modeling• Models of subsystems can be encapsulated as

graphical objects, called icons.

• The icons can be topologically interconnected to form a two-dimensional network.

• Sub-networks of graphical objects can be grouped together to form new objects, for which icons can be designed. In this way, systems can be hierarchically composed from sub-systems forming a tree.

• The leaves of the tree must be described by equations.


Bond Graph Modeling• Bond graphs are one type of graphical object-

oriented models.

• They describe the power flow through a physical system.

• Since energy and power flow are common to all types of physical systems, bond graphs are domain independent.

• The equation-based leaf models of bond graphs can be pre-coded for all domains.


The Bond Model

• The modeling of physical systems by means of bond graphs operates on a graphical description of energy flows.

• The energy flows are represented as directed harpoons. The two adjugate variables, which are responsible for the energy flow, are annotated above (intensive: potential variable, “e”) and below (extensive: flow variable, “f”) the harpoon.

• The hook of the harpoon always points to the left, and the term “above” refers to the side with the hook.

Causal Bond Graphs

• Every bond defines two separate variables, the effort e and the flow f.

• Consequently, we need two equations to compute values for these two variables.

• It turns out that it is always possible to compute one of the two variables at each side of the bond.

• A vertical bar symbolizes the side where the flow is being computed.

Junctions of type 0 have only one flow equation, and therefore, they must have exactly one causality bar.

Junctions of type 1 have only one effort equation, and therefore, they must have exactly (n-1) causality bars.

The Four Base Variables of the Bond Graph Methodology

• Beside from the two adjugate variables e and f, there are two additional physical quantities that play an important role in the bond graph methodology:

p = e · dt

Hemodynamics• The hemodynamics describe the flow of blood

through the heart and the blood vessels, i.e., the flow of blood through the cardiovascular system.

• The hemodynamics of the human body can be interpreted as a hydromechanical system. Blood is similar to water, blood vessels can be inerpreted as pipes, and the heart chambers act as hydraulic pumps.

• Some of the chambers and vessels contain valves that act like check valves, preventing a backflow.

Simulation Results (Valsalva Maneuver)


Summary• Object-oriented graphical modeling has helped us translate a

hydro-mechanical model of the cardiovascular system into a representation that medical personnel can interpret and deal with.

• The knowledge at each layer was suitably encapsulated for limiting the local complexity to a level that can be represented on a single screen.

• No manual translation from the high-level representation to executable simulation code is needed. The graphical model at each level contains all of the model equations at that level and underneath it. Hence the model can be compiled in a fully automated fashion and simulated thereafter.
