Claim One:
1. A method for generating data for analysis from a model for a system, the method comprising: identifying, by a processor unit, components in the system using the model for the system; identifying, by the processor unit, attributes for the components using the model and a repository having performance information, the identifying comprising calculating, by the processor unit, a coefficient of resistance for a bend in a tube in a set of tubes using a radius of bend for an outside diameter and a bend angle for the bend; generating, by the processor unit, the data using the attributes, wherein the data is configured for use by at least one of a finite element analysis application and a simulation application; performing, by the processor unit, an analysis of the system using the data and the at least one of the finite element analysis application and the simulation application; and adjusting, using the processor unit, the model based on results of the analysis, wherein the results identify a performance of the components.
