Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented 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 comprising: receiving from a user information corresponding to a shape to be analyzed using the analytical tool; solving, with a computer, one or more mesh equations for a plurality of point locations, the one or more mesh equations depending on a Jacobian scaling parameter that is from about 0.5 to less than 2; generating the computation mesh as a function of the plurality of point locations; and outputting one or more indicia representing the computation mesh, wherein said solving one or more mesh equations includes relating a plurality of sources to the inner and outer boundaries according to: where J identifies a Jacobian defining a cell area of a grid cell located within the interior of a grid of the computation mesh; J
