Any engineering analysis model is indispensable to predict the behavior of a product for its rational evaluation and optimization. In the process of modeling engineering analysis, an engineer makes modeling idealizations or assumptions, which depend on a various factors of design, such as the kinds or types of products, the objectives of the engineering analysis or design time constraints. Because the knowledge of engineering analysis exists in modeling process, it is important to capture and manage the process. This research aims to develop the framework that captures and manages the process of modeling engineering analysis. This paper proposed a description format of modeling process called Engineering Analysis Modeling Matrix (EAMM). Three modeling levels, i.e., conceptual model, mathmatical model and computatinal model, and three modeling aspects, i.e., target objects, governing principles and behavior, are defined in order to describe modeling process. A modeling example of heater analysis shows the EAMM's capability as a foundation of the management framework of engineering analysis modeling knowledge.
