The Geometry + Simulation logo represented as a multi-patch trivariate cubic spline domain.

The multipatch model consists of 31 volumetric tensor-product B-spline patches.

Left: Parameter lines of a regular parameterization of Austria with THB-splines

Right: THB-mesh of a domain representing the (rotated) state of Indiana.

Adaptively refined THB-splines allow a high resolution in areas with many details, as well as a coarse representation of straight parts of the boundary.

Four examples showing parameterization of Multi-Patch domains for Isogeometric Analysis using Patch Adjacency Graphs.

The surface obtained by fitting point data using the standard B-spline technology often suffers from oscillations (left).

The animations shows different interpolation of a function representing a steep cliff along a parametrized curve using HLR and prescribed refinement.

As time progress the number of refinement levels is increased, from 0 to 11. The oscillations are caused by the choice of the interpolation points: a fixed number per mesh element.

Isogeometric Analysis on a 2D turbline blade.

A G-shaped volume domain. We solve a diffusion problem with adaptively refined THB-splines.

The color corresponds to the value of the solution of the problem. Four levels of adaptive refinement are used here.

The refinement is driven by a residual error estimator and is concentrated to the regions of activity of the solution.

We solve the Poisson Equation on a triangle domain with three patches in the new basis of multipatch B-splines with enhanced smoothness (MPBES).

The first picture shows the domain and the exact solution, the second picture compares the derivative of the numerical solutions that are achieved using C0 multipatch (on the left) and the new MPBES (on the right). Buchegger et al.

Volume visualization using opacity. Top left image shows the result of a simple heat equation on a cube, remaining images show the possibility to isolate areas of a chosen range of scalar values by changing the transfer function. Accessible in class gsRender for 3D NURBS and 3D B-Splines.

We solve the Stokes Equation on a Flow-Passage domain utilizing isogeometric Taylor Hood elements of hierarchical MPBES.

The first picture shows the pressure field of the numeric solution, the second picture shows the magnitude of the velocity, the third picture visualizes the streamlines and the last picture shows the mesh after six levels of adaptive refinement. (Florian Buchegger, Dissertation)
