Abstract: In an embodiment, a mechanism for visualizing a graphical model in three dimensions is discussed. An executable graphical model is obtained that includes a hierarchy of model levels that include a top level. The hierarchy includes multiple components. A three-dimensional (3D) view of the graphical model is displayed that provides views of a first and second component at a first and second depth. A graphical indicator is generated in the view of the top level of the graphical model that is associated with the first component and also generated in the view of the second component. A control alters a user perspective of a view that includes at least one of the components in the graphical model.

Abstract: A computer-implemented modeling system comprising a storage medium, an interface, an output device, and a processor. The storage medium to store executable instructions for providing a modeling environment using the system, the modeling environment supporting model development. The interface to receive an input instruction and create an executable instruction, where the user interaction represents the input instruction and instructs the modeling environment to perform one or more of: an analyzing operation, an editing operation, or a navigating operation. The output device to output at least one of: a tactile output representing tactile feedback, or a haptic output representing haptic feedback; and a processor to execute the executable instructions to provide the modeling environment, process the executable instruction using the modeling environment, and generate an output instruction, where the output instruction is used by an output device for generating the tactile output or the haptic output.
