Seamless integration of design, simulation and optimization
In this work, we exploit the very merit of isogeometric analysis in design of complex-shaped engineering shells, namely, computer-aided design and computer simulation are performed on the same platform without the time-consuming data exchange. This integration is possible only when simulation-required properties, e.g., expected convergence, are also built in the basis used for design. In the meanwhile, adaptivity is indispensable to locally edit a geometric model in a specific region of interest, so it is also supported in this work.
