Methods and systems for matching a computed curve to a target curve to enable realistic engineering simulations are disclosed. Optimization of parameter identification is achieved by adjusting the parametric inputs of a simulation model such that the discrepancy between the two curves is minimized. Because the points on the two curves to be matched are paired, matching of any two open curves, including hysteretic curves, can be handled. Curves that are completely set apart in their original coordinates can be merged to a common coordinate system for parameter identification without the computational instability problems. A partial matching scheme is used for mapping points defining the shorter one of the two curves to a set of mapped points on the longer one. One or more offsets from the first point of the longer curve are used for multiple attempts to find a best fit. |
