Isogeometrische Analyse und Entwurf von Strukturen

What it is about

You will learn the basics of isogeometric analysis (IGA) and its application to the numerical simulation of free-form structures. The module covers geometrical form description, NURBS-based FEM for linear elastostatics, as well as the theory and nonlinear formulation of free-form shells including multipatch modelling and form optimization. In the end, you will be able to apply IGA concepts and evaluate the interaction between geometry and structural analysis in the design process.
