Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method for transferring data between simulation models having different topological dimensionality including a first dimension and a second dimension, the method comprising:
receiving data characterizing a first simulation model of a physical object and a second simulation model of the physical object, the first simulation model comprising a first mesh, the second simulation comprising a second mesh, the first simulation model having a different dimensionality than the second simulation model;
generating a pseudoelement in the first dimension based on a sweep direction of a mesh of the second dimension, wherein the first dimension is higher than the second dimension;
determining an intersection between the pseudoelement and a mesh of the second dimension;
generating one or more weights based on the determined intersection; and
generating values of physical characteristics for the second simulation model by mapping values of the physical characteristics from the first simulation model using the one or more weights.
