1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

  • providing, by a computing device, a simulation library comprising one or more process simulation models representing operations of components of a process, the simulation library further comprising one or more cause and effect models, the cause and effect models including transfer constants to represent interdependencies between operating parameters of the process components;

    integrating, by the computing device, at least one of the cause and effect models into at least one of the process simulation models to automatically create one or more cause and effect simulation models that represent the component operations in accordance with the interdependent operating parameters; and

    connecting, by the computing device, outputs of a dynamic process simulation comprising at least one of the cause and effect simulation models to I/O components of a control system in a simulation environment for use in at least one of checking an arrangement of the process components and performing training before bringing the process components online.
