  • Patent number: 9530019
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing protected three-dimensional components for simulation. A three-dimensional component may be accessed, wherein the three-dimensional component includes one or more characteristics of the three-dimensional component, and wherein certain values of the characteristics of the three-dimensional components are variable via a parameter. An encapsulation command may be received for the three-dimensional component, wherein the encapsulation command includes an encryption setting, an access control setting, and an identification of which values of the characteristics of the three-dimensional component are variable via a parameter. An encapsulation of the three-dimensional component may be generated, wherein the encapsulation is encrypted based on the encryption setting and the access control setting, and wherein, when the three-dimensional component is encrypted, the three-dimensional component is inaccessible outside of an authorized program.

  • Patent number: 9477792
    Abstract: A model synthesizer generates a state-space model of a structure from frequency domain parameters of the structure using a selected number of significant eigenvalues of a matrix derived from the frequency-domain parameters such that the quality of the fit of the model is improved. A matrix of the frequency-domain parameters is reshaped so as to improve performance of determination of the fit quality. Passivity violations in the model can be removed via regularization and error control such that the fit quality of the model after removal of the passivity violations is within a specified tolerance. Cholesky factorization can improve the performance of passivity violation detection. This Abstract is provided for the sole purpose of complying with the Abstract requirement rules. This Abstract is submitted with the explicit understanding that it will not be used to interpret or to limit the scope or the meaning of the claims.

  • Patent number: 9063882
    Abstract: In a system for simulations of fields related to physical objects by iteratively solving a system matrix equation, the system matrix is preconditioned using a modified Gauss-Seidel preconditioner so as to eliminate or reduce a sequential nature of the iterations, thus facilitating parallel solution of the conditioned system matrix.
