An economic, space- and time-resolved method to model ultra-short, intense pulse propagation in waveguides is described. Simulations of supercontinuum generation on a chip demonstrate the utility of the approach. Comparisons with the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation elucidate spatial effects, which influence pulse dynamics and the generation of new spectral components.
