Mathematical models of various kinds are important in many disciplines. Unfortunately, it is often difficult and time-consuming to develop models. This paper considers the possibilities to reduce model development work as far as possible by supporting reuse of models. Two basic ideas are discussed: First, use of symbolic descriptions (equations) to describe behaviour and second, concepts for modularization to make reuse of models both flexible and safe. The results presented are parts of project to develop computer aided engeneering tools for model development and simulation.
