ABSTRACT:
A system (2) predicts the behavior of a component using refinements in both space and time. The system (2) includes a steady-state engine (14) that generates a steady-state stencil (16) that defines successively refined meshes (58, 60, 90, 118, 122) in space. A transient engine (18) adopts the spatial framework of the steady-state stencil (16) to predict the behavior of the component over time. The transient engine (18) may adjust a time interval (356) to refine the predictions in time.
