ABSTRACT:
A system and method for automatically generating a computation mesh for use with an analytical tool, the computation mesh having a plurality of ξ-grid lines and η-grid lines intersecting at grid points positioned with respect to an inner boundary and an outer boundary. The method includes receiving from a user information corresponding to a shape to be analyzed using the analytical tool and solving one or more mesh equation for a plurality of point locations, the one or more mesh equations depending on a source decay factor that is inversely proportional to the number of η-grid lines.
