>>1340171We're not talking about me sitting in a room with a calculator for a week hard, we are talking about a server-farm struggling to get more than a rough estimate within weeks hard.
CFD-simulations are just insanely complex themselfes, but now you need to calculate air as compressable, aerothermodynamics, vibrations of the engine, airflow and turbulences at the intake, the resonances of all major parts of the engine and last but not least the whole flight envelope of the aircraft.
I might have missed a few things, but I guess you get the idea...
>>1340243The problem isn't only that there are non-linear elements, the issue is that the whole system is insanely complex as well and you have to take a shitload of variables into account
