Research map of models for modelling embodiment and function of technical systems to support linked model usage

在具身设计中，往往很难将新的研究与已有的模型研究成果联系起来。这一问题源于现有模型的多样性和缺乏上级结构，这使得难以建立新的研究项目。因此，即使能够产生高的模型研究杠杆，单个研究项目的研究杠杆对于整个模型研究来说也很低。为了该研究领域的未来，有必要通过提高与现有研究成果的链接可能性来支持研究杠杆的创建。通过这种方式，可以对模型进行比较，并可以识别链接潜力。因此，将有可能在设计中采用各种模式的联邦模式，特别是德国开发和使用的模式将可供国际研究界使用。此外，产品和过程模型研究的兼容性将增加，可以利用协同潜力。解决这种上级结构的方法是现有模型的研究地图，这是本研究项目所要开发的。这个研究地图的模型在体现设计可以被用来作为一个结构化的概述，以确定这些模型的共性，差距和连接的可能性。研究项目的基础是从前期工作的文献分析。本研究地图基于模型研究人员在文献中提供的有关其模型的信息。 为了在技术系统的具体化设计中对模型进行更客观、更统一的描述，将利用这些模型对两个实例系统进行建模。所创建的模型被移交给各自的模型研究人员进行检查和完成。然后，在专家研讨会上对研究地图进行扩展和评估。最后，评估的研究地图提供给模型研究人员。

It is often difficult to link new research to existing research results of model research in embodiment design. This problem arises from the diversity of available models and the lack of a superordinate structure, which makes it difficult to establish new research projects. As a result, the research leverage of individual research projects is low for the entire model research, even if a high model-specific research leverage can be generated.For the future of this field of research, it is necessary to support the creation of research leverage by improving the possibilities of linking to already existing research results. In this way, models can be compared and linking potentials can be identified. A model federalism across the entire diversity of models in design will thus become possible and, in particular, the models developed and used in Germany will become usable for the international research community. In addition, the compatibility of product and process model research will increase and synergy potentials can be used.A solution approach to this superordinate structure is a research map of existing models, which is to be developed in this research project. This research map of the models in embodiment design can be used as a structured overview to identify commonalities, gaps and linking possibilities of these models.The basis of the research project is a literature analysis from preliminary work. The present research map is based on information provided by model researchers in the literature on their models. In order to achieve a more objective and uniform description of models in embodiment design of technical systems, these models will be used for modelling using two example systems. The created models are handed over to the respective model researchers for examination and completion. The research map is then expanded and evaluated in an expert workshop. Finally, the evaluated research map is made available to model researchers.
