Abstract: A method for controlling a gas turbine engine fuel control valve during low flow conditions includes positioning the fuel control valve in an operating position. The method also includes determining a fuel control valve flow sensor flow rate while in the operating position and determining a corrected effective flow area (“Cda”) of the fuel control valve. The method further includes generating Cda versus command data with the corrected Cda and the operating position and inserting the generated Cda versus command data into the nominal Cda versus command data set when nominal Cda versus command data is not known at the operating position.

The model includes mesh data and boundary condition data, which may be rendered with contour lines. User input is received indicating changing at least a segment of at least one of the contour lines. The user input may be input using a graphical user interface to produce a graphical representation of a new contour line to replace at least a segment of one of the contour lines. At least the new contour line may be outputted and/or stored as modified boundary condition data to represent the replaced segment.
