Claim One:
1. A control system, comprising: an actuator for positioning a control device comprising a control surface, wherein the actuator positions the control surface; a processing circuit configured to execute a control law, the control law configured to direct the actuator as a function of a model output; and a model processor configured to generate the model output, the model processor comprising: an input object for processing a model input vector and setting a model operating mode; a set state module for setting dynamic states of the model processor, the dynamic states input to an open loop model based on the model operating mode; wherein the open loop model generates current state derivatives solver state errors, and synthesized parameters as a function of the dynamic states and the model input vector, a constraint on the current state derivatives and solver state errors being based on a series of cycle synthesis modules, each member of the series of cycle synthesis modules modeling a component of a cycle of the control device and comprising a series of utilities, the utilities based on mathematical abstractions of physical laws that govern behavior of the component, the series of utilities including a material temperature utility for determining a material temperature associated with a component of the cycle of the control system; an estimate state module configured to determine an estimated state of the model based on at least one of a prior state, the current state derivatives, the solver state errors, and the synthesized parameters; and an output object for processing at least the synthesized parameters of the model to determine the model output.
