During recent years engineers have found it advantageous to make use of a variety of "model" techniques in order to solve various design problems. These techniques have included the use of both static and dynamic models for work ranging from stress analysis to harbour silting studies. Small scale models have also been used for some time to check in three dimensions work done on the drawing board, particularly in architecture, machine design and production line layout. Models of this type have undergone considerable development, and they are now being used as three-dimensional arrangement drawings on which the layout is determined rather than merely checked. This paper describes the techniques which have been evolved in the oil and chemical industries in recent years, and the application of these methods to engineering projects of a more general nature.
