Physical Model. After the 25% design stage and the CFD modeling have been completed, the results will be used to construct a physical model of the structure. The primary purpose of the physical modeling is to investigate the internal hydraulics of the structure and to evaluate entrance hydraulic conditions. Concurrently, the design will progress to the 50% stage.
Physical Model. About Physical Models Navicat Data Modeler allows you to create physical models, including tables, fields, views, foreign key constraints and other physical properties of the database/schema. In the New Model window, choose Physical as Model Type and select the target Database and Version. You can also use the following features to create a physical model: • Import from Database - reverse engineer from existing databases/schemas or ODBC data source. • Model Conversion - convert from a logical/conceptual model. After creating a physical model, you can compare and synchronize it to an existing database/schema or export it to a SQL file. Add Databases / Schemas to Physical Model When creating a new model, a database/schema (named Default) is automatically created and it is the default database/schema. All newly added objects (tables and views) are belonged to the default database/schema. You can view all databases/schemas with their objects as tree structure on the Explorer's Model tab. The pop-up menu options of a database/schema in the Explorer's Model tab include: New Database / New Schema Create a database/schema. Delete Database / Delete Schema Delete the selected database/schema including its objects from the model. The default database/schema cannot be deleted. Rename Change the name of the database/schema. Set As Default Database / Set As Default Schema Set the selected database/schema as the default database/schema. Add Tables to Physical Model To add a new table, click the Table button from the toolbar and click anywhere on the canvas. To add an existing table from the Explorer's Model tab, simply drag and drop the selected table from the Model tab to the canvas. For Default diagram notation, the icon means the field is a primary key. The icon indicates that the field serves as an index.
