Abstract
A method of predicting telemetry data for a system under analysis is provided, the method including the steps of: linking a computational fluid dynamics model and a finite element analysis model at a system condition; converging said computational fluid dynamics model and said finite element analysis model to obtain a converged solution; and extracting data from discrete locations in said converged solution to provide predicted telemetry data for said system condition. The predicted telemetry data is typically thermocouple data, thus providing virtual thermocouples for further analysis. A method of validating a system model using the predicted telemetry data is also provided.

A computer-implemented method of predicting temperature data for a system under analysis, the method comprising:
- linking a computational fluid dynamics model and a finite element analysis model at a system condition;
- converging said computational fluid dynamics model concurrently with said finite element analysis model to obtain a converged solution with a computer;
- and
- extracting data from discrete locations in said converged solution to provide predicted temperature data for said system condition.
