Modellierendem

Modellierendem is the dative singular form of the present participle modellierend, derived from the verb modellieren, meaning to model or to design. In German, present participles can function as adjectives and are declined like other adjectives. The form modellierendem appears when the participle is used attributively and the accompanying noun is in the dative case, masculine or neuter, and often when no definite article is present or a determiner signals the dative.

Grammatical function and declension

As a participial adjective, modellierendem follows the standard pattern for adjectives in the dative singular. After prepositions that require the dative (such as mit, von, zu) or in a sentence fragment where the noun is in the dative, the form modellierendem is appropriate for neuter or masculine nouns. Examples include mit modellierendem Werkzeug or mit modellierendem Ansatz. With a definite article, the form would appear as dem modellierenden Werkzeug or dem modellierenden Architekten, depending on gender and noun.

Usage notes

Present participles used as adjectives convey ongoing or process-related attributes, emphasizing the action of modeling rather than a static property. In technical and academic German, forms like modellierendem are common in phrases describing methods, tools, or workflows that involve modeling or design processes. Correct usage depends on matching the case, gender, and number of the noun it modifies, as with other attributive adjectives.
