Template:Wiktionarypar A model is a pattern, plan, representation, or description designed to show the structure or workings of an object, system, or concept. And also it is a study of a miniature of the actual. Model may also refer to:

Abstractions, concepts, and theories:

* Model (abstract), an abstraction or conceptual object used in the creation of a predictive formula
* Causal model, an abstract model that uses cause and effect logic
* Mathematical model, an abstract model that uses mathematical language
* Computer model, a computer program which attempts to simulate an abstract model of a particular system
* Data model, a description of the structure of a database
* Model (economics)
* Scientific modelling, the process of generating abstract models
* An in vitro model of a biological process, used in biological or medical research
* Model Driven Engineering, the systematic use of models in engineering
* Molecular modelling, methods and techniques to model the behaviour of molecules
* Geologic modelling, the applied science of creating computerized models of geologic features
* Morphological modelling, a problem-solving technique used for problems with which causal modelling does not function well
* The Standard Model, the theory in particle physics which describes certain fundamental forces and particles
* Model building (particle physics), the construction of new models beyond the Standard Model in particle physics
* Meta-modeling, a model of a model
* Business model
* Model theory, study of the representation of mathematical concepts
* Similitude (model), in engineering, used in the scientific testing of physical models
* Working Model, engineering software.

As representations of objects:

* Model (physical), a physical representation of an object
* Solid modeling, study of unambiguous representations of the solid parts of an object
* Scale model, a replica or prototype of an object
* Model building, a hobby centered around construction of material replicas
* 3D model, a 3D polygonal representation of an object, usually displayed with a computer

In human and animal behavior

* An organism (or set of signals originating from it) that is mimicked by another.
* Mental model, a person's cognitive representation of an idea or thought process
* Modeling (NLP), a process in neuro-linguistic programming
* Modelling (psychology), learning by imitating or observing a person's behavior
* Role model, a person who serves as a behavioural or moral example to others

In occupations:

* Model (person), a person whose occupation is to function as a living prop, often to display products, e.g. a fashion model (see also supermodel) or promotional model.
* Model (art), a person who poses for purposes of art, for example in art school
* Fetish model, a model who wears the clothing and/or devices of sexual fetishes

In history and culture:

* Walther Model, German field marshal in World War II
* Movement for Democracy in Liberia, MoDeL
* Models (band), an alternative rock group from Australia
* Model (manhwa), a manhwa series by Lee So Young
* "Model," a song by Avail from their 1994 album Dixie

In lighting:

* Modeling means how a key light reveals the three dimensional form of a subject
* Modeling light,a continuous lightsource that visualizes the effect of a photographic flash

In geography:

* Model, Colorado, an unincorporated town in the United States
* Model (Poland) \- a village in Poland in Masovia Voivodeship in gostyniński county in Pacyna commune
