Smart constraints

Smart constraint permits users to specify additional constraints on a balance envelope, for instance when components should balance as well as the overall mass or volume balancing.

Smart constraints are implemented as formulas that refer to measured or calculated values in objects in the model to enforce a relationship between them (normally equality).

Smart constraints are what enable you to perform a simultaneous component balance, such as:

• Oil, gas, and water (typical for recovery operations from oil sand)

• Copper, iron, waste (typical for mining)
