N2 - Structural modeling is one of the concepts in systems engineering to handle the complexity of technical products In the process of modeling the choice of the abstraction level and the grade of detail are afflicted with uncertainties Current methods support in identifying wrong elements or dependencies but support during the verification of the abstraction level is missing This paper presents an approach to identify errors and not adequately chosen levels of abstraction Using domain mapping matrices and matrix-multiplication, the approach supports the identification of elements, whose definition should be reconsidered The approach is applied within an industrial case study
