Systems and methods for implementing iterative simulation manipulations and results display

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for providing real-time interactive design and simulation of a physical system to generate comparisons of varying system configurations under different physical conditions. A display is generated on a graphical user interface that displays a part in a physical system according to characteristic data. An initial simulation of the physical system is executed to determine an initial value for a metric of the initial design. The initial value is displayed on the graphical user interface. A change of the characteristic data or the environment condition is received through a user interface. The simulation of the physical system is recalculated to determine a next value for the metric based on the change, the next value for the metric being displayed on the graphical user interface along with the initial value in real time relative to the received change.
