model
modelling

   1.  A description of observed or predicted
   behaviour of some system, simplified by ignoring certain
   details.  Models allow complex systems, both existent and
   merely specified, to be understood and their behaviour
   predicted.  A model may give incorrect descriptions and
   predictions for situations outside the realm of its intended
   use.  A model may be used as the basis for simulation.

   Note: British spelling: "modelling", US: "modeling".
