Generating contours on FEM/BEM higher-order surfaces using Java3D textures
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract An efficient technique to visualize primary and secondary results for combined FEM/BEM models as contours is presented. The technique is based on dividing higher-order surfaces into triangles and on using texture interpolation to produce contour plots. Since results of high accuracy with significant gradients can be obtained using sparse meshes of boundary elements and finite elements, special attention is devoted to element face subdivision. Subdivision density is defined on the basis of both face edge curvature and ranges of result fields over element faces. Java 3D API is employed for code development.

Boundary Element Methods for Inductive Hardening
This study deals with the simulation of inductive hardening of conducting workpieces made of steel. The aim is to calculate the propagation of heat in the workpiece. Based on this knowledge, the hardened zone can be predicted with sufficient precision. Since the simulation is to be applied in industry, workpieces and inductors are supposed to have a complex three dimensional shape. The electrom...
متن کاملA coupled finite element-boundary element method for modeling Diffusion equation in 3D multi-modality optical imaging
Three dimensional image reconstruction for multi-modality optical spectroscopy systems needs computationally efficient forward solvers with minimum meshing complexity, while allowing the flexibility to apply spatial constraints. Existing models based on the finite element method (FEM) require full 3D volume meshing to incorporate constraints related to anatomical structure via techniques such a...
متن کاملA simple approach to the numerical simulation with trimmed CAD surfaces
In this work a novel method for the analysis with trimmed CAD surfaces is presented. The method involves an additional mapping step and the attraction stems from its simplicity and ease of implementation into existing Finite Element (FEM) or Boundary Element (BEM) software. The method is first verified with classical test examples in structural mechanics. Then two practical applications are pre...
متن کاملHigher Order BEM-Based FEM on Polygonal Meshes
The BEM-based finite element method is reviewed and extended with higher order basis functions on general polygonal meshes. These functions are defined implicitly as local solutions of the underlying homogeneous problem with constant coefficients. They are treated by means of boundary integral formulations and are approximated using the boundary element method in the numerics. To obtain higher ...

Given any structure, we seek to find the solution of mechanical problem as precisely and efficiently as possible. Within this condition, the BEM is robust and promising development, standing out in the analysis of cases with occurrence of large stress gradients, as in problems of fracture mechanics. Moreover, in BEM the modeling of infinite means is performed naturally, without the use of appro...
