Methods for generating models of non-linear systems and components and for evaluating parameters in relation to such non-linear models

摘要

A method for generating a computer model for use in system component design as well as overall system evaluation is disclosed. The method includes the steps of generating an equation model of the system component, modifying the equation model by integrating according to the trapezoidal rule, wherein an integrated model is formed having a plurality of parameter values. Certain of such parameter values define historical parameter values accounting for historical parameter information. the parameter values are arranged in matrix form and reordered. The reorder matrix equation is reduced by eliminating certain of the parameter values, thereby forming a reduced model. When the reduced model is incorporated is a system model it is necessary to modify the system model to account to the component model current parameter information. Such information is used by the component model to update the historical information.
