Abstract
A computer-based method for aiding a user to develop a computer-based simulation model of the kind which simulates a multiple variable system using a suite of equations. Stored, user-entered constraint knowledge defines possible conditions of variables of the multiple variable system and corresponding expected consequences on variables of the system. The possible conditions are automatically applied to the suite of equations to produce test consequences on variables of the system. Then the test consequences are automatically analyzed against the expected consequences as an indication of the validity of the simulation model.
