Automated Mixed Dimensional Modelling with the Medial Object
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an automatic method for generating analysis models to be meshed with finite elements of more than one dimension, known as mixed dimensional models. Mixed dimensional models offer much reduced analysis times, while not compromising simulation accuracy to the same extent as fully dimensionally reduced models composed of 2D elements stiffened using beam elements, which are currently utilised in the aerospace industry. The techniques described make possible the automatic generation of mixed dimensional models directly from CAD, allowing for rapid iteration during early design.

3D Scene and Object Classification Based on Information Complexity of Depth Data
In this paper the problem of 3D scene and object classification from depth data is addressed. In contrast to high-dimensional feature-based representation, the depth data is described in a low dimensional space. In order to remedy the curse of dimensionality problem, the depth data is described by a sparse model over a learned dictionary. Exploiting the algorithmic information theory, a new def...
متن کاملA New Guideline for the Allocation of Multipoles in the Multiple Multipole Method for Two Dimensional Scattering from Dielectrics
A new guideline for proper allocation of multipoles in the multiple multipole method (MMP) is proposed. In an ‘a posteriori’ approach, subspace fitting (SSF) is used to find the best location of multipole expansions for the two dimensional dielectric scattering problem. It is shown that the best location of multipole expansions (regarding their global approximating power) coincides with the med...

متن کاملAutomated Two-Dimensional Multi-block Meshing Using the Medial Object
This paper describes the automatic generation of a structureddominant mesh based on an automatic block decomposition obtained using the medial object. The mesh generator will produce a mesh for an arbitrary two-dimensional geometry, where quadrilateral-dominant or triangular meshing is used when structured meshing fails. The domain is automatically partitioned into blocks (sub-regions), and an ...
متن کاملNURBS-Based Isogeometric Analysis Method Application to Mixed-Mode Computational Fracture Mechanics
An interaction integral method for evaluating mixed-mode stress intensity factors (SIFs) for two dimensional crack problems using NURBS-based isogeometric analysis method is investigated. The interaction integral method is based on the path independent J-integral. By introducing a known auxiliary field solution, the mixed-mode SIFs are calculated simultaneously. Among features of B-spline basis...
