Configurable system and method for power and process plant modeling
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for simulating an industrial plant, said method comprising:
- generating a library of industrial plant component types using user input, the library including properties of the component types and rules to generate scripts in accordance with property values;
assembling a configuration of industrial plant components from the library using user input into an editor configured to accept a layout and connection of said configuration of industrial plant components and to accept a configuration and setting of the properties of said industrial plant components;
generating a script or scripts for industrial plant components in said configuration of industrial plant in accordance with said rules, wherein said generated scripts include mathematical relationships within or among the industrial plant components, or both;
solving the mathematical relationships; and
at least one of displaying results of said solution of the mathematical relationships or transmitting signals in accordance with said results to control an industrial plant in accordance with said results.

Abstract
A method for simulating an industrial plant includes generating a library of industrial plant component types using user input. The library includes properties of the component types and rules to generate scripts in accordance with property values. The method further includes assembling a configuration of industrial plant components from the library using user input. The configuration is assembled into an editor configured to accept a layout and connection of the configuration of industrial plant components and to accept a configuration and setting of the properties of the industrial plant components. The method also includes generating a script or scripts for industrial plant components in the configuration of industrial plant in accordance with the rules, wherein the generated scripts include mathematical relationships within or among the industrial plant components, or both. The mathematical relationships are then solved. Results are either displayed or used to control an industrial plant.
