Process modelling services
A model built around your question.
Explore an R&D idea, investigate optimisation or bring us an older model that needs attention. Mobatec develops one-off, turnkey process modelling solutions and helps engineering teams build their own models, with optional follow-up support.
Two ways to work together
Choose a turnkey modelling solution or work alongside our specialists as your team develops its model. Start with an agreed project scope, with follow-up support available if you need it.
Bring a research idea, an optimisation question or an existing model that needs further work. Our specialists develop a turnkey modelling solution around the question and scope agreed with you.
Work alongside Mobatec specialists while your engineers develop their own process model. Bring us into an existing project for help updating or extending the model around your current needs.
Questions worth modelling
A useful model starts with the behaviour you need to understand and the question you want to investigate.
Translate process ideas and research questions into a model. Explore behaviour and investigate alternatives as part of your R&D work.
Review an older spreadsheet, script or simulation model that no longer reflects the process or your current questions. Discuss what needs updating and whether redevelopment is appropriate.
Bring a model that crashes frequently or has become difficult to use. Our team can review the modelling challenge and discuss the development or rebuilding work it needs.
Use a process model to investigate optimisation questions and compare relevant operating scenarios, with the scope and assumptions selected around the decision you want to explore.
From question to model
Use the process question to guide the scope, available information and way of working. These are the topics we can explore together at the start of a project.
The right level of detail follows from the model's intended use. Process knowledge, suitable assumptions and appropriate checks matter alongside the modelling software.
Describe what you want to understand, who will use the model and what the simulation needs to represent.
Review the available process information and any existing spreadsheet, script or simulation model. Consider its assumptions, current limitations and the level of detail needed.
Choose whether Mobatec develops a turnkey model or supports your engineers. Develop a new model, update the existing one or rebuild it where appropriate to the agreed scope.
Use the working model to explore the agreed process question and relevant scenarios. Follow-up support is available if you want help after handover.
Expertise and our own software
Mobatec develops Mobatec Modeller in house. Its equation-based approach brings the physical process, its equations and its simulation behaviour together in a transparent modelling environment.
The Mobatec Modelling methodology builds a process model from physical connections, species and equations through to controls and simulation. Automatically generated component-mass and enthalpy balances support that work.
Because the software is developed by our own team, we can also discuss functionality tailored to a project's needs.

A scope for your project
A one-off project can give you a working model for your process question, with optional support once it is in use. Agree the scope and intended application with our team.
A process model developed around the question and scope agreed for your project.
Use the model to investigate research ideas, explore process behaviour or compare scenarios relevant to the agreed question.
Choose support after handover if you want help using or further developing the model.
Practical questions
Yes. Our consulting services include one-off, turnkey process modelling solutions. Tell us about your process and the question you need the model to investigate, and we can discuss an appropriate scope.
Yes. We can work alongside your team while you develop your own model, or contribute specialist modelling support to an existing project.
Yes. Bring an existing model that is out of date, crashes frequently or no longer supports your current needs. We can review the challenge and discuss updating or rebuilding it. The appropriate approach depends on the model and the question it needs to answer.
Common starting points include R&D ideas, improving existing models and investigating optimisation questions. The modelling scope follows from the process behaviour and scenarios you want to understand.
No. Mobatec offers one-off, turnkey modelling projects. Follow-up support is optional if you want help after handover. We can also help your engineers develop their own model within an agreed project scope.
