It's much easier to test things on a model, and a computer simulation is even easier. Making the model match the real thing is the hard part.

A model can provide a visual, proportional and three-dimensional representation of something too large or small to be viewed in its entirety. i.e. a globe
They can provide positional reference for structures. i.e. location of the heart in relation to the lungs.
A model can demonstrate something that cannot be witnessed or that is theoretical. i.e. a model of an environment could be created and factors modified to determine the effects. models of atoms.
They can also provide a mental description of something that is an abstract concept.

To see the effects that the model will have before constructing it, for example in Architecture, to better understand a house, building, etc, you do a scale model to see the structure, material, how it would look before its actually constructed.

Model = school of thought. It's an idea and convenience to describe a behavior that one or more scientists think is true.
