ABSTRACT:
A method for calibrating a software model for a given structure of interest for a variable imposed by an adjacent structure. First determine the spatial extent of the variable imposed by the adjacent structure. Then assign a value to the spatial extent, which varies as a function of distance from the adjacent structure to the given structure. Finally, attach that value to the model of the given structure.
