Abstract: A method for maintaining a physical asset based on recommendations generated by analyzing operational data and analyzing at least one model representing the physical asset, includes constructing, by a computing device, using a port-reduced reduced basis element approximation of a partial differential equation, at least one model. The computing device analyzes an error indicator associated with the at least one model to determine that the error indicator exceeds a tolerance level and increases a number of basis functions in the port-reduced reduced basis element approximation accordingly. The computing device receives first operational data associated with a region of the physical asset and updates at least one model. The computing device provides a recommendation for maintaining the physical asset.
