Project
summary

The
objective of our proposed research is the development and
implementation of the next generation design/simulation methods. The
key outcome of this research is a system/methodology that allows the
analysis, simulation and design of engineering products in a more
efficient way, reducing costs and offering the unique opportunity for
European CAD and CAE companies being ranked in first place. This
project aims to extend the IA concept of Hughes and co-workers who
focused on the unification of CAD and CAE

whereas we aim to
generalize this idea to unify pre-processing (in general) and
analysis; in this sense all our methods are isogeometric since they
exploit the shape functions to discretize the design model also in
the context of numerical analysis (the simulation model). Another
main advantage of the proposed generalized isogeometric analysis is
its wide applicability. This requires a strong collaboration between
universities and companies, which is reflected in the composition of
our team. The research programme is structured into 4 main
sub-programmes addressing the most urgent issues in the generation
and development of efficient design and simulation models:

Programme
A: CAD Feature Processing (2 projects).

Programme B:
Pre-Processing and Mesh generation (4 projects).

Programme C:
Numerical Analysis/CAE (6 projects).

Programme M: Voxel based
analysis (1 project).
