Abstract

In this paper, we discuss methods and concepts of Object Oriented Programming (OOP) for graphical modeling. We illustrate through a set of examples how geometrical models are built, and visualized solutions to logistics network design problems are obtained. We develop a methodological framework for visual programming and linking of graphical models concepts, and introduce the basic concepts of graphical models: lines, arrows, nodes and coordinates. We use block diagrams and object-oriented programming to program and link the concepts of graphical models using Visual Basic for Excel.
