Computer-based system adapted to create a representation of mechanical and
flow-mechanical function of a .delta.V-pump. A mathematical modeling
algorithm is used based upon a transforming element adapted to connect
different physical domains via a transforming value. The system comprises
an upper transforming element (TF1) and a lower transforming element
(TF2) each having a flow domain (fd1, fd2) and a mechanical domain (md1,
md2), the upper transforming element is provided with a transforming
value A1 and the lower transforming element is provided with a
transforming value A1+A2, wherein A1 and A2>0. The upper and lower
transforming elements are interconnected such that their mechanical
domains are connected, said mechanical domains are provided with a
control value representing a directional measure (F) arranged to
intermittently and simultaneously activate said mechanical domains of the
transforming elements. By interconnecting two .delta.V-pump
representations the pumping action of a heart may be simulated.
