Abstract: Data characterizing an assembly/structure containing a first stage and a second stage are received in a computer system. The first stage can contain a first cyclic symmetry and the second stage can contain a second cyclic symmetry. The first cyclic symmetry and the second cyclic symmetry are different from each other. Each stage may be a 360-degree stage. The received data includes a first mesh representing the first stage and a second mesh representing the second stage. Multiple simulation results are obtained using corresponding models in respective dynamic analyses of the assembly. Each model includes a set of constraints for coupling the first mesh and the second mesh. The set of constraints is associated with a group of distinct linked harmonic indices. Physical behaviors of the assembly are then calculated using one or more sets of the simulation results. Constraints are in forms of constraint equations.
