Analysis-aware defeaturing of complex geometries with Neumann features

Ondine Gabrielle Chanon, Pablo Antolin Sanchez

Local modifications of a computational domain are often performed in order to simplify the meshing process and to reduce computational costs and memory requirements. However, removing geometrical features of a domain often introduces a non-negligible error ...

Region Extraction in Mesh Intersection

Annalisa Buffa, Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Emiliano Cirillo

Region extraction is a very common task in both Computer Science and Engineering with several applications in object recognition and motion analysis, among others. Most of the literature focuses on regions delimited by straight lines, often in the special ...

Stabilized isogeometric formulation of the Stokes problem on overlapping patches

Annalisa Buffa, Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Riccardo Puppi

We present a novel stabilized isogeometric formulation for the Stokes problem, where the geometry of interest is obtained via overlapping NURBS (non-uniform rational B-spline) patches, i.e., one patch on top of another in an arbitrary but predefined hierar ...

Robust numerical integration on curved polyhedra based on folded decompositions

Annalisa Buffa, Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Xiaodong Wei

We present a novel method to perform numerical integration over curved polyhedra enclosed by high-order parametric surfaces. Such a polyhedron is first decomposed into a set of triangular and/or rectangular pyramids, whose certain faces correspond to the g ...

Fast and multiscale formation of isogeometric matrices of microstructured geometric models

Annalisa Buffa, Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Thibaut Hirschler

The matrix formation associated to high-order discretizations is known to be numerically demanding. Based on the existing procedure of interpolation and lookup, we design a multiscale assembly procedure to reduce the exorbitant assembly time in the context ...
