A behavioral model is one that simply shows the behavior of the chip (or whatever). This contrasts with a real circuit model, which has models for individual transistors and other circuit elements and they are "connected" together as in the real chip. The reason to use a behavioral model is it's much faster than circuit simulation. The reason companies want you to use a behavioral model is because they don't want to reveal their circuit design, that's their IP; a behavioral model does not reveal the circuitry that causes the behavior.
