Abstract
A component design tool extracts a parameter associated with a component defined in a model of a physical system. The design tool discretizes the component and generates a matrix representative of a specified parameter. By subdividing the matrix into a hierarchy of submatrices and iteratively compressing and blending the submatrices, the design tool produces a compressed matrix. The compressed matrix is efficiently solved using iterative techniques. From the solution of the matrix, the design tool calculates the specified parameter.
