A physics continuant that is a bearer or conduit of energy and/or information.

Dynamical entities are classes of physical analytical abstractions used by physicists to represent specific physical entities as they participate in physical processes within a particular domain. Examples: cylindrical bone, spherical cell cytoplasm, etc. These classes DO NOT, however, represent instances of biological entities themselves but, rather, are idealization that express the abstractions, idealizations, and simplifying assumptions used by physicists for computational inferences. Thus, a your femur is an instance of FMA:Femur, but it is analyzed as an OPB:Mechanical solid which is attributed with solid mechanical properties and can participate solid mechanical processes such as translation, rotation, flexion. Thus, in a simulation model, a femur is annotated as both and independently, an instance of the FMA:Femur class (i.e., as a "real" biological entity) and as an instance of OPB:Mechanical solid, an analytical construct as imagined by a the modeler.
