Historically, the fields of Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) have developed independently from each other and different mathematical descriptions are used in the two fields. This has led to a gap between design and analysis models that has to be bridged by model conversion. This model conversion (meshing) often is the most time-consuming step in the design-through-analysis process. Additionally, this introduces the so-called discretization error, which describes the difference between the design model and the analysis model. Isogeometric analysis is a new development in computational analysis which aims to close this gap by using the same mathematical description for the design and the analysis model. NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines) are the most widespread functions in CAD and hence they are used as basis functions for the Isogeometric analysis
Isogeometric analysis is a new development in computational analysis which aims to close this gap by using the same mathematical description for the design and the analysis model. NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines) are the most widespread functions in CAD and hence they are used as basis functions for the Isogeometric analysis.
Motivation
Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) merges the models for design and analysis into one. Therefore, no model conversion is needed and refinement can be performed on the analysis model while the exact geometry is preserved in each refinement level. Furthermore, the smoothness of the NURBS ensures higher accuracy compared to standard polynomials which are commonly used in the “traditional” Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Another important idea behind IGA is the "isoparametric concept" i.e. the same basis is used to model the geometry and to approximate the unknown solution fields.
