Subject: Question about Model fields you don't want on a form

I'm working on a project where I have a model's data loaded from a form, 
but some of the fields on the model are calculated from submitted 
information.  A simple example would be an Update field that takes a time. 
 I want this field to be NotBlank in the DB, so I set that Annotation on 
the model, but this causes the form to throw an error if I don't specify 
it, when I really want to just set it myself after the form is bound and 
validated.

Is there a good way to set this up with just a single model, or would it 
require making an additional sort of 'Input Model', validating that, then 
mapping it over after and persisting my original model with the new data?
