Abstract

Software instructions stored on a memory device and executable by a processor generate a plurality of models to simulate a process entity. The models include equations that mathematically represent the functionality of the process. Moreover, the models are configured to accurately represent the functionality of the process. Instructions determine whether the equations of the models are solvable after each change made to the models and indicate the result of the determination of solvability of the equations. Changes to the plurality of models are suggested that may render the equations solvable if the equations are determined to be unsolvable.
