General execution of data storage of model-based engineering (MBE)
Data is generated, reworked, and continuously saved during the development of a facility. Models are the most refined type of data and can be defined as descriptive , which describe a current situation, or predictive , with the ability to simulate behavior over time. When developing new systems, predictive models are used to simulate the systems’ technical function, production capacity, economic impact, etc. The use of models when a plant is in the production phase of its lifecycle uses their prediction ability to support reasoning, decisions and optimization. Models make it possible to reach conclusions based on historical data with results from, for example, scenario analyses with predictive models.
