Models offer insight into how natural structures may have developed. For structures where geometry is poorly constrained by outcrop, seismic data, or well data, models may suggest reasonable options for completing the structural interpretation.

Quantitative data derived from a model can be confidently applied to natural structures only if the model has been accurately and completely scaled with respect to the natural counterpart. In practice, this degree of scaling may be achieved in numerical models and mechanical physical models. It is often difficult to achieve in geometrical physical models. Nevertheless, partially scaled and even nonscaled models can still help generate ideas on structure development.
