Hi Riza and all,

John L. Casti's book (Would-be worlds) has a number of 
tips on how to understand models in general; I found 
that adapting some of his ideas I could "feel" better 
if my models were more or less correct.

Depending on your problem, you can also use techniques 
such as the one described in John L. Miller's 
article "Active Nonlinear Tests of Complex Simulation 
Models".

Remember that ultimately what you may be trying to test 
is the adequability of the model to the world you are 
trying to capture; and most of the time, only an 
experienced person on the subject can answer that.
