Flying Tail Physics?

Are aircraft elevator/stabilator/elevon modeled with realistic flight physics to include independent AOA or relative wind? Or, are they just modeled as a simple force generator to create torsion about the aircraft pitch axis? I ask this because I have doubts about the physics modeling that seem most obvious during takeoff rotation.

There is nothing so hurtful for the brain as splinters of broken rose-coloured spectacles.

I'm concerned about fixed wing elevator/stabilator modeling with respect to runway surface interaction. For example, if an F-15 had it's stab set 10 degrees down (nose up trim) it's rotation could only pitch the nose up 10 degrees max while still in contact with the runway. It would have to lift off before this trim setting could continue to rotate the aircraft anymore about the pitch axis...
