optimization and control, but is also an important source of information at the management level. One way to obtain such states is to design a simulation of the process. The simulation is also a great tool for evaluating production modification scenarios, for forecasting optimal operating conditions, or simply for providing values to process variables that are not monitored on the DCS. However, one important step in designing the simulation is the validation with real process data. This task can be tedious, not to mention that a perfect match between simulation values and plant data is never possible.
