1. A computer implemented method, comprising:
- providing a physical computer aided design (CAD) model comprising a plurality of physical objects in a flow system, each of the plurality of physical objects joined at one or more physical linkages;
generating an analytical model of the flow system based on the one or more physical linkages; and
automatically updating one of the analytical model or the physical CAD model to reflect a change to the other.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for providing a physical computer aided design (CAD) model comprising a plurality of physical objects in a flow system. Each of the plurality of physical objects are joined at one or more physical linkages. An analytical model of the flow system is generated based on the one or more physical linkages. And one of the analytical model or the physical CAD model is automatically updated to reflect a change to the other.
