Abstract:
1. A method executed in a computer system for matching a computed curve to a target curve representing material behaviors in engineering simulations, the method comprising: receiving a definition of a target curve in a computer system, the target curve being defined by a first set of points; obtaining a computed curve using a computer aided engineering analysis model in an engineering simulation configured for creating the computed curve via a plurality of control parameters of the engineering simulation, the computed curve being defined by a second set of points; creating a third set of points on the computed curve using a mapping scheme that includes: iteratively updating the computed curve defined by the newly created third set of points by adjusting the control parameters until a discrepancy between the computed and target curves is within a tolerance, the discrepancy is calculated using the third set and the first set of points; and storing the control parameters along with the computer aided engineering analysis model into a file on a storage device coupled to the computer system upon user's instructions.
