Definition

A modeling paradigm that represents each subsystem by one or more standardized interaction ports—named interfaces that expose conjugate variables (e.g., effort/flow, voltage/current, force/velocity) or signals—so that subsystems can be connected systematically across physical domains while enforcing interface consistency and conservation laws at the connections.
