Abstract Chemical processes are generally modeled through monoscale approaches, which, while not adequate, satisfy a useful role in product-process design. In this case, use of a multi-dimensional and multi-scale model-based approach has importance in product-process development. A computer-aided framework for model generation, analysis, solution and implementation is necessary for the development and application of the desired model-based approach for productcentric process design/analysis. This goal is achieved through the combination of a system for model development (ModDev), and a modelling tool (MoT) for model translation, analysis and solution. The integration of ModDev, MoT and ICAS or any other external software or process simulator (using COM-Objects) permits the generation of different models and/or process configurations for purposes of simulation, design and analysis. Consequently, it is possible to reduce time and human resources in the development and solution of models.
