Abstract
Models are playing important roles in design and analysis of
chemicals/bio-chemicals based products and the processes that
manufacture them. Model-based methods and tools have the potential to
decrease the number of experiments, which can be expensive and time
consuming, and point to candidates, where the experimental effort could
be focused.In this contribution a general modelling framework for systematic
model building through modelling templates, which supports the reuse of
existing models via its tools integration and model import and export
capabilities, is presented. Modelling templates in connection to other modelling tools within
the modelling framework are forming a user-friendly system, which will
make the model development process easier and faster and provide the way
for unified and consistent model documentation. The modeller can use
the template for their specific problem or to extend and/or adopt a
model. This is based on the idea of model reuse, which emphasizes the
use of a model not only for one specific application but also for future
applications involving different needs and levels of detail to match
different purposes. As the result the model developer can generate and
test models systematically, efficiently and reliably. In this way,
development of products and processes can be faster, cheaper and very
efficient. The developed modelling framework involves three main parts: 1) a
modelling tool, that includes algorithms for model generation; 2) a
template library, which provides building blocks for the templates
(generic models previously developed); 3) computer aided methods and
tools, that include procedures to perform model translation, model
analysis, model verification/validation, model solution and model
documentation. In this work, the integrated use of all three parts in the
modelling framework is highlighted through a development of a simple
flowsheet model. Initially the model equations are obtained from the
tool for model generation and then transferred to model analysis tool.
Further, based on this model, a modelling template is created, which is
used later for the modelling of Williams-Otto plant. The main goal is a
demonstration of the template reuse for the system with similar
repetitive objects.
