[edit] Physical model:

The physical part is normally handled by a 3D CAD model.

Sometimes the CAD system would be supplemented by software to generate 3D views or walk-through features.

The technical data is typical an ERP system or other database, there could also be links to systems for handling unstructured data, like EDM systems.
