1. A computer implemented method for managing a flow model simulation, the computer implemented method comprising: responsive to receiving a source model created in a non-native modeler, associating annotated simulation settings with the source model to form an annotated source model, wherein the annotated simulation settings are derived from at least one of a set of user-defined simulation settings and default simulation settings; transforming the annotated source model into an internal domain model using a set of links, wherein the set of links are generated using a set of link rules that comprise instructions that govern the creation of the set of links, the set of link rules customizable for the source model, and wherein the set of links maps a set of source model elements to a set of internal domain model elements of the internal domain model; mapping results from a simulation of the internal domain model back to the source model to identify a context for the results, wherein the simulation is governed by the annotated simulation settings; and generating a target view model from the internal domain model, wherein the target view model comprises the results presented in the context of the source model.
4. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein transforming the annotated source model into the internal domain model further comprises: generating a set of internal domain elements corresponding to the set of source model elements; and updating metadata fields in the set of links for the set of internal domain elements and the set of source model elements.
