A system, method, and computer-readable medium including instructions for predicting a characteristic of an object is described. The system includes an object model comprising a thin crack geometry representation of at least a portion of the object; a boundary condition model of a predetermined process applicable to the object ( Figure 8, Input Data ) ; and a simulator module (Figure 8, Run the EPD Simulator ) for simulating the application of the output ( Figure 8, Output Results ) a predicted value of a predetermined characteristic of the object.
