the interface of the model to the system and includes connection
points and parameters. A number of architectures can be associated
with an entity to describe the model behavior such as a behavioral
or a physical level description. A complete model consists of a sin-
gle entity combined with a single architecture. The domain or tech-
nology type of the model is defined by the type of terminal used in
the entity declaration of the ports. The IEEE Std 1076.1.1 defines
standard types for multiple energy domains including electrical,
thermal, magnetic, mechanical and radiant systems. Within the
architecture of the model, each energy ...
