- Modelica
- Open modelling language that supports expression=expression rather than just variable=expression
- Modeling
- A simplification of the real-life object and situation that preserves their essential nature, and allows a solution using mathematics.
- Numerical Control
- Any controlled equipment that allows an operator to program its movement by entering a series of coded numbers and symbols.
- One Dimensional
- Having length, but no width e.g. a line.
- Ray Tracing
- The calculation of the propagation, reflection and refraction of rays from source to receiver. This technique is used extensively within the optics and acoustics industry.
- Three Dimensional
- Having length, width, and thickness i.e. space.
- Two Dimensional
