Translations:Modellkonzept/2/en

1. A system element integrates related transport and storage processes to form one 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 corresponding methods according to their type, which describe the behaviour of an element. Loads acting on the element trigger system reactions and states using these methods.
4. Under the same loads as well as the same characteristics and parameters, the methods always provide the same system reactions and states.
