model transformations

Model transformations are processes that change a model from one form or structure into another, while preserving its essential meaning or function. Think of it like translating a blueprint into different formats: some might focus on visual layouts, others on specific details needed for manufacturing. In software and systems engineering, these transformations enable models to be adapted for different tools, purposes, or analysis stages, ensuring consistency and improving efficiency across development processes. They help bridge gaps between abstract design and concrete implementation, making complex systems easier to understand, modify, and realize.
