    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media are used for analyzing a design. A finite element analysis (FEA) model and a correlated computational flow dynamics (CFD) model are defined. A parametric volume is defined with control points forming a mesh bounding a common design object of the models. Control points on the parametric volume are adjusted to develop a design deformation of the FEA model and the CFD model. An analysis loop is performed until a convergence is achieved. The analysis loop includes simulating the CFD model to develop resultant forces and simulating the FEA model with the resultant forces applied to develop resultant displacements. The analysis loop also includes deforming the CFD model and the FEA model to match the resultant displacements by adjusting control points on the parametric volume to generate a corresponding analysis deformation of the FEA model and the CFD model.
