Swept Volume Parameterization for Isogeometric Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Isogeometric Analysis uses NURBS representations of the domain for performing numerical simulations. The first part of this paper presents a variational framework for generating NURBS parameterizations of swept volumes. The class of these volumes covers a number of interesting free-form shapes, such as blades of turbines and propellers, ship hulls or wings of airplanes. The second part of the paper reports the results of isogeometric analysis which were obtained with the help of the generated NURBS volume parameterizations. In particular we discuss the influence of the chosen parameterization and the incorporation of boundary conditions.

In isogeometric analysis framework, computational domain is exactly described using the same representation as that employed in the CAD process. For a CAD object, we can construct various computational domain with same shape but with different parameterization. One basic requirement is that the resulting parameterization should have no self-intersections. In this paper, a linear and easy-to-che...

متن کاملBounding the Influence of Domain Parameterization and Knot Spacing on Numerical Stability in Isogeometric Analysis
Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) was introduced by Hughes et al. in 2005 [1] as a new method to bridge the gap between the geometry description and numerical analysis. Similar to the finite element approach, the IGA concept to solve a partial differential equation leads to a (linear) system of equations. The condition number of the coefficient matrix is a crucial factor for the stability of the syst...
