Chapter 11

Wheather forecasters use models to show the public the location and movement of storms

Typical graphic models are conceptual drawings, graphs, charts, and diagrams

The focus of chapter 11 is the conversion of _____ to models

An appearance model designed to show people how a product or structure will look.

charts allow designers to organize and plot data

charts show the relationship between people, actions, and opertations

A ______ allows us to reduce complex mechanisms and events into an eaisly understood form

Another word that can be used in place of modeling is _______

An automobile is a very complex artifacts

These are graphic models that show the relationships between components in a system.

conceptual models capture the designers ideas for specific structures and products

Another name for "human factors analysis"

These models are three-dimensional representations of reality.

Computer models are models that show a general view of the components and their relationships.

graphs allow designers to organize and plot data

These are graphic models that show relationships between people, actions, or operations.

Diagrams show the relationship between components in a system

This is a working model of a system, assembly, or product that is built to test the operation, maintenance, and safety of the item.

The conversion of drawings to models involves all of the following basic activities except

A ___ model is a three-dimensional computer model that is a wire frame with a sheet.

graphs show the relationship between people, actions, and opertations

It is the process of simulating expected conditions to test design ideas.

In solving problems designers explore various ideas and develop ______

These graphic models that allow designers to organize and plot data. They also can be used to display numerical
information that can be used to design products and assess testing results.

A _______ model is a complex computer model that takes into account both the surface and the interior substance of an object.

Graphic models are models produced by computers that help designers to test the effects of color on a product’s appearance and acceptance, to test strengths of materials and structures, and to observe the product during normal operation.

It is the science of designing products and structures around the people who use them. .

Simulation is the process of imitating expected conditions to test design ideas.

graphic models capture the designers ideas for specific structures and products

Each product starts with a ______ or opportunity that could be defined

These models that show a general view of the components and their relationships.
