modeling
The creation of a simplified, abstract representation of reality in order to analyze, understand, or predict complex systems, often with the help of mathematics or computers.
Die Modellierung des Klimawandels hilft Wissenschaftlern, zukünftige Entwicklungen abzuschätzen.
The modeling of climate change helps scientists estimate future developments.
'Modellierung' (modeling) is the noun form of the verb 'modellieren' (to model). The ending '-ung' is a very common way to form a feminine noun from a verb.
Wir modellieren das Bauteil zuerst am Computer.
We model the component on the computer first.
To say what is being modeled, you usually use the genitive or the preposition 'von' (of/from). For example, 'die Modellierung des Systems' (the modeling of the system) or 'die Modellierung von einem System' (the modeling of a system).

You can recognize the abstract, scientific meaning from words like 'Daten' (data), 'Computer' (computer), or 'Prognose' (forecast/prediction). You can recognize the craft-related meaning from materials like 'Ton' (clay), 'Gips' (plaster), or in the context of '3D'.
Für die Wettervorhersage ist eine komplexe Modellierung der Atmosphäre nötig.
A complex modeling of the atmosphere is necessary for the weather forecast.
In scientific contexts, typical collocations are 'mathematische Modellierung' (mathematical modeling), 'statistische Modellierung' (statistical modeling), or 'computergestützte Modellierung' (computer-assisted modeling).
Die statistische Modellierung zeigte einen klaren Trend in den Verkaufszahlen.
The statistical modeling showed a clear trend in the sales figures.
model
'das Modell' and 'die Modellierung' often belong to the same topic, but they do not mean the same thing. A model is the result: a reproduction or a simplified representation. Modeling is the process by which such a model is created, for example with data, clay, or a 3D program. They can be confused because both words look similar and occur in science, technology, or design. In practical terms: at the end of modeling, you have a model.
Die Modellierung des Klimas dauert lange, weil viele Daten geprüft werden müssen.
Modeling the climate takes a long time because a lot of data has to be checked.
