The method according to Claim 1, wherein the modelling on the lowermost description level uses a limited set of basic types for representation of the units and for describing their interaction, wherein each basic type processes data, said data representing values of characteristics of the mentioned units, and wherein this set of basic types comprises
a basic type “transfer” which represents a transfer of units, leads through data for characterising these units, and comprises one input as well as one output,
a basic type “merge” which represents a combining of units, links data for characterising these units to one another and comprises two inputs as well as one output,
a basic type “split” which represents a division of units, determines data for characterising units which come from a dividing-up, from data of a unit to be divided up, and comprises one input as well as two outputs
wherein in each case inputs serve for receiving data into the respective base type and outputs serve for transferring data out of the respective base type, and wherein computer-based, data-processing models of the system are formed by way of forming a quantity of basic types and by way of linking inputs and outputs of these basic types.
