Considering that the representation of problems is a key step in the design of new technical systems, we propose a model of representation of problems. By integrating the problem solving between the functional modelling and the physical specification of the future system, we present a model enabling to build a bridge between these two domains. We will present in this article the model of representation of problems and the heuristics we use to instantiate this model. The use of one the heuristic will be illustrate by a study case.
