CAD-Integrated Parametric Lightweight Design With Isogeometric B-Rep Analysis

The complex geometries of lightweight structures can easily be modeled with modern CAD systems that use NURBS. Isogeometric B-Rep Analysis (IBRA) adopts the NURBS geometries along with their topology for the analysis model, which can thus fulfill both design purposes and solve structural problems in...
