We propose a coarse-grained model for polymer chains and polymer networks based on the meso-scale dynamics. The model takes the internal degrees of freedom of the constituent polymer chains into account using memory functions and colored noises. We apply our model to dilute polymer solutions and polymer networks. A numerical simulation on a dilute polymer solution demonstrates the validity of the assumptions on the dynamics of our model. By applying this model to polymer networks, we find a transition in the dynamical behavior from an isolated chain state to a network state.
