This paper demonstrates a methodology to help practitioners maximise theutility of complex multidisciplinary engineering models implemented asspreadsheets, an area presenting unique challenges. As motivation weinvestigate the expanding use of Integrated Resource Management(IRM) modelswhich assess the sustainability of urban masterplan designs. IRM models reflectthe inherent complexity of multidisciplinary sustainability analysis byintegrating models from many disciplines. This complexity makes their usetime-consuming and reduces their adoption.  We present a methodology and toolkit for analysing multidisciplinaryengineering models implemented as spreadsheets to alleviate such problems andincrease their adoption. For a given output a relevant slice of the model isextracted, visualised and analysed by computing model and interdisciplinarymetrics. A sensitivity analysis of the extracted model supports engineers intheir optimisation efforts. These methods expose, manage and reduce modelcomplexity and risk whilst giving practitioners insight into multidisciplinarymodel composition. We report application of the methodology to severalgenerations of an industrial IRM model and detail the insight generated,particularly considering model evolution.
