A New Inverse Method Using Model Synthesis: Application to Thermal Systems

Abstract

We propose a new inverse method which consists of building an “inverse model.” The model synthesis [1], which allows us to gather several coupled elementary models in a single one, can be used to permute some outputs with some inputs of the direct model, solving a special coupling between the direct model and a particular one called “inversor.”

The model synthesis then provides an inverse model which can be used to perform usual simulations. We show the principles of the method, the practical “ticks,” and demonstrate with an example that it is an easy-to-use and efficient method.
