The modeling of both the flume system and prototype controls is described. The integrated model is run over a suite of tests to verify the calibration of the control strategy. Results from the plant commissioning are compared with the virtual tests. The model proved capable of accurate predictions of the waterway dynamics, and the model-based calibration was successfully verified on the actual plant. ![](https://modelon.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Model-Based-Controls-Dev-Picture-1.png) ![](https://modelon.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Model-Based-Controls-Dev-Picture-2.png) ## Site Description Modelon is revolutionizing the engineering design industry by offering technologies and services that enable customers to leverage system simulation.
