When a designer has the delicate task to integrate new or badly specified needs, it is not easy specially within engineering applications having significant class hierarchies with bulky object bases. He is only sure about the changes to bring punctually, more explicitly on instances. We propose to this kind of designer a simulation tool of class evolution according to structural evolution of instances. It has to provoke emerge of new and adapted conceptual abstractions and to detect their position in the class hierarchy. The objective of this article is to analyze emergent abstractions by using metrics.
