1. A method for providing a process simulation model for a process that includes potentially complex interactions between control points within the process, the method comprising:
- generating a process simulation model of a process control system based on at least one data source; and
integrating cause and effect models from a library into the process simulation model, the cause and effect models including transfer constants corresponding to a unit change relationship between related process parameters.

Abstract
A method and system for automatically generating simulations for a distributed control system is disclosed herein. A programmed process model generator automatically incorporates a variety of process model data from pre-defined model libraries into descriptions of process equipment including control devices to render simulation models of various degrees of fidelity.

17. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media for providing a process simulation model for a process that includes potentially complex interactions between control points within the process, the media comprising processor-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, perform:
-
generating a virtual process control system definition representative of one or more control processors and one or more physical I/O interfaces to a process based on at least one data source; connecting one or more process models to the virtual process control system; and integrating cause and effect models from a library into the process models, the cause and effect models including transfer constants corresponding to a unit change relationship between related process parameters. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
