Abstract
Embodiments relate to systems and methods for generating a floating desktop representation of an extracted model object. Aspects relate to object-based modeling using modeling objects that can be extracted from spreadsheet cells, database entries, or other sources. A modeling client can host modeling logic and an application programming interface (API) to create, access, manipulate, and import/export modeling objects used in modeling applications, such as engineering, medical, financial, and other modeling platforms. In aspects, the source data can be accepted into the modeling client from consumer or business-level applications, whose cell, database, or other data content can be extracted and encapsulated in object-oriented format, such as extensible markup language (XML) format. An icon or other desktop representation can be generated to present the extracted model object for selection and use in the local environment of the modeling client. The extracted model object can also be exchanged with other applications or platforms.
