Modeling is a process by which an experiment (organized way of obtaining data) can be applied to answer questions about a system; taking into account that a system, in summary, is a potential source of data and a simulation is the experimentation of the possible behavior of a system in a model. Both (modeling and simulation) are processes to develop and test theories in many fields of application of engineering. This paper presents a study of trends in modeling and simulation concerning the Bond Graph reference framework, carried out through an analysis based on bibliometric maps. The results show a strong connection between simulation models and the automotive industry in the frame of reference Bond Graph.
