Translations:Modellkonzept/2/en

1. A system element integrates related transport and storage processes to a calculation unit.
2. A system element has properties in the form of characteristics and parameters.
   Characteristics are clearly definable features of system elements. Parameters are also characteristics of system elements, but they are subject to calibration and verification.
3. System elements have according to their type corresponding methods, which describe the behaviour of an element. Loads acting on the element trigger system reactions and states using the methods.
4. Under the same loads as well as the same parameters and parameters, the methods always provide the same system reactions and states.
