The phrase "attempted to model a" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when discussing efforts to create a representation or simulation of something, often in academic or technical contexts.
Example: "The researchers attempted to model a new approach to climate change prediction using advanced algorithms."
Alternatives: "sought to represent a" or "tried to simulate a".
Hence, we attempted to model a localized, epithelial IAV infection in zebrafish by injecting IAV directly into the swimbladder subsequent to its inflation (5 dpf).
We first attempted to model a gradient generating mechanism that would be similar in principle to the diffusion gradient mechanism in yeast, by simulating active transport of length-encoding signals by the dynein motor from axon tip to cell body, with a constant rate of signal loss en route.
This study suggests that when a wind tunnel experiment investigates flow oblique to a very slender cylinder, such as attempting to model a stay cable, experimentalists should use a sufficiently high spanwise aspect ratio of the cylinder.
FL incorporates fuzzy rule based IF X AND Y THEN Z inference approach to solve problem rather than attempting to model a system mathematically.
Cellular Automata modeling is recognized as being flexible and offers researchers a better alternative when attempting to model a system involving multiple components.
Fuzzy logic incorporates a simple, rule-based approach based on natural language to solve control problem rather than attempting to model a system mathematically.
For example, Lawler said, when physicists are attempting to model a particular phenomenon, there may be so many variables involved that it's nearly impossible to solve all of the equations involved.
As we were attempting to model a possible population level intervention, we wanted to have as broad inclusion criteria as feasible.
To date, attempts to model a quality-investment trade-off in human mate choice (e.g., Hill and Reeve 2004) treat the sexual attractiveness of high-quality males as a premise.
Attempting to model an ideal society in accordance with the principles set forth in the Confucian Classics, he promoted sweeping reform efforts that conflicted gravely with entrenched interests and therefore encountered resistance.
