Abstract
A computer-implemented method for use in analyzing a model of a repetitive structure includes generating a plurality of blocks based on the model such that the blocks are arranged end to end. The method also includes defining at least one boundary condition on an inlet of the model and on an outlet of the model, generating a plurality of constraints to be applied to the blocks to define connectivity between adjacent blocks, defining an inlet state based on the boundary condition and at least a portion of the constraints. The method further includes detecting when a first block passes a trigger plane at the inlet of the model, erasing a state of a second block at the outlet of the model, shuffling the second block to an inlet zone, and resetting the state of the second block to the inlet state.
