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.
modeling
The process of shaping or designing a three-dimensional object, for example from clay, wax, or in a 3D graphics program.
Die Modellierung der Skulptur aus Ton erforderte viel Fingerspitzengefühl.
The modeling of the sculpture from clay required a lot of sensitivity and skill.
'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).
Die Modellierung des neuen Stadtviertels dauerte mehrere Monate.
The modeling of the new city district took several months.
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.
simulation
In the computer-assisted study of a system, Modellierung and Simulation complement each other. Modellierung first creates a simplified, abstract representation, while Simulation runs this model through assumed processes. Use Modellierung when building the model and Simulation when carrying out its test run.
Die Modellierung des Systems vereinfachte seine wichtigsten Bestandteile für die spätere Untersuchung.
The modeling of the system simplified its most important components for the later study.
Die Simulation zeigte, wie sich das System unter verschiedenen Bedingungen verhält.
The simulation showed how the system behaves under different conditions.
