Samenvatting

We present GarpN, a software tool designed to integrate qualitative and quantitative modelling. GarpN has three functionalities: translating a qualitative representation into a quantitative model, running numerical simulations and detecting quantitative states, and matching these states to their qualitative counterparts. We show the use of GarpN through a worked example of modelling a spring–mass system. As GarpN is a work in progress, we also discuss current challenges in integrating qualitative and quantitative modelling.
