Abstract

This invention allows users to build, manipulate, and finally deploy various model configurations with little performance overhead, better syntactic clarity and configuration flexibility.

Claims

1. In an electronic device that provides a modeling environment, a method for creating and executing a model in the modeling environment, wherein the electronic device includes a display device, the method comprising the steps of:

providing the model, which includes a plurality of variants of an element in the model; and

compiling the model to execute the model using a first variant of the element, wherein the first variant of the element is one of the plurality of variants included in the model.
