Description:

Despite many attempts to unify the fields of CAD and FEA software have to date represented two different (though interconnected) worlds. Isogeometric Analysis presents a highly original yet viable solution to the integration of the two methodologies. Taking advantage of the increased computational power available today, they propose combining both packages using complex NURBS geometry in the FEA application directly. This will allow models to designed, tested and adjusted in one go and offer a breakthrough that will change greatly the way automobile and aerospace design around the world is handled. Groundbreaking publication from the originators of isogeometric analysis, presenting a viable…
