Claim One:
1. A computer implemented method for managing a flow model simulation, the computer implemented method comprising: responsive to receiving a source model created in a non-native modeler, associating annotated simulation settings with the source model to form an annotated source model, wherein the annotated simulation settings are derived from at least one of a set of user-defined simulation settings and default simulation settings; transforming the annotated source model into an internal domain model using a set of links, wherein the set of links are generated using a set of link rules, and wherein the set of links maps a set of source model elements to a set of internal domain model elements of the internal domain model; mapping results from a simulation of the internal domain model back to the source model to identify a context for the results, wherein the simulation is governed by the annotated simulation settings; and generating a target view model from the internal domain model, wherein the target view model comprises the results presented in the context of the source model.
