1. A computer executable method for producing a computer model, operative to control a computer stored on at least one computer readable medium, the method when executed comprising:
- a) receiving a computer model formed of a plurality of variables from a first party;
b) receiving a modification to at least one of the variables from a second party;
c) determining whether the modification falls outside at least one predetermined criterion;
d) if any of the modifications fall outside the at least one criteria, transmitting a message to the second party that the modification of the variable will likely result in the model producing an undesirable result.

Abstract
Disclosed is a simulation based environment that allows a product based engineer, with a modest understanding of complex software programs, to use complex math models. The system provides an interface by which basic component models can be used within the simulation. Allowances are made for particular variables to be adaptable by the product based engineer.

16. A system for facilitating the development of a computer model between a software expert and an engineer, the system comprising:
-
a data deck comprising variables representing properties of physical components in a simulation model;
a model processor for accepting the data deck and simulating an event;
a preprocessor for allowing the software expert and the engineer to modify variables on the data deck;
a first software advisor module configured to restrict the modification of variables within the data deck based upon engineering principles;
a second software advisor module configured to restrict modification to variables of the data deck based on limitation of the model processor. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
