My brain. I used to use modelling software back around 1999 but they all failed to meet the need. Modelling tools and even these stupid "Design patterns" are a limit to your creativity to build great software.
Modern modelling tools are even worse nowadays than back on the old days.
You have to know that they claim that these "Designer patterns" and modelling tools are based on the best developers techniques. It is complete marketing BS because these "Design patterns" are only the crystallized creative end-result of the best developers. It is only a shadow of what makes these best developer good: Their creativity to invent new stuff out of scratch to solve the problem. By using these "design patterns" and "modelling tools" your brain gets frozen in a static way never to recover.

Reaction modeling? Aspen. Financial modeling? Excel. Emissions modeling? Water9.

modelling what part of it to be specific

Modeling the design, structures and so forth during planning. I'm wondering if there's anything more efficient than simply drawing it on whiteboard.

pencil is okay if you just want to draw a user interface.
