I know of one vendor where this worked very well until purchasing decided to
buy core material from a different vendor, then the empirical plus analytical
models became less accurate.

Yes, I do totally agree, and that's what we are doing right now in my
corp.. However, simulation should be used to help the speeding up of
design cycle, so we are trying to make a correlation between
simulations and empirical data base which we think might help us in the
future development. So is there anyone has ever tried such approach?
If Yes, is there any particular step that needs to be taken care of? Can
you talk about this?
