This study makes an attempt to generalize the integrated modeling tools used by the authors in practice on the basis of the following criteria: the volume of the initial data, the integration mechanism, constraints and assumptions. Various types of integrated models are compared with each other, the need for their application is analyzed, they are connected at various stages of the project development and by the tasks solved at this stage. It also describes the challenges that the authors encountered when working with integrated models of various levels of detail, approaches to their solution, and the lessons learned.
