  Detailed modeling of the different regions of NGC 7130 is presented,
accounting for its composite nature of AGN and starburst galaxy. Shock waves,
created by stellar winds from hot massive stars and by supernova ejecta, are
evident in the continuum and line spectra emitted from the clouds. The AGN
starburst connection is discussed on the basis of model results, considering in
particular the distribution of densities and velocities throughout the galaxy.
