Patent ID: 7971192

Claim:
A method of analyzing simulation results of a model, the method comprising: obtaining a process model including model elements including tasks, non-reusable sub-processes, and called reusable sub-processes; assigning a unique identifier to each model-element; generating unique model-element-proxies for all model-elements except for model elements corresponding to a model-reusable-sub-process or a model element contained by a model-reusable-sub-process, generating unique model-element-proxies for each context in which model-reusable-sub-processes and model-elements contained by model-reusable-sub-processes are used, associating each generated model-element-proxy with a corresponding model-element; executing simulation of the process model and persisting for each element instance data produced during simulation, the instance data including an element instance identifier and a corresponding model-element-proxy identifier; querying persisted simulation data for information using model-element-proxy identifiers.
