This is a bit like looking at a hammer and asking if it would be 
suitable for constructing a particular kind of garden shed!

It is possible that someone has a package that does what you require, 
but otherwise you will have to program Mathematica to do what you want.

I would be very cautious about using any computerised mathematical 
method without having a reasonable understanding of what it is trying to 
do, and how it should be applied to your application. Don't just use 
some software like a black box!
