Until the late 70's, in musical Acoustics, the practice of physical modeling (PM) was mainly the prerogative of acousticians. Since then, other research and uses more oriented to music have developed. A new scientific community has been emerging, which may pointed out as dealing with "physically-based modeling" (PBM) as opposed to traditional PM. However, there is still some misunderstanding of these recent works. This article proposed a bibliographic overview of their specificities, goals and needs. A few ideas are discussed that may help to distinguish amongst the topics on which acousticians and musically oriented researchers interested in PBM work respectively. The various interests of the research on PBM in the context of music creation are synthesized. As a summary, 10 challenges for an optimal a PBM scheme are introduced.
