hi Roy, I was thinking actually by starting to accomplish (within libmesh) NURBS-mapping-functions and then to the NURBS-as-basis-functions.
however, which parts of the library you think that should be "touched" so as to incorporate this new stuff? another question: is it possible within the current libmesh framework for the user to enforce the decomposition of the mesh (e.g. assign on an element-specific basis some weights for the mesh partitioning algorithm). cheers, Vasileios On 27 February 2015 at 15:01, Roy Stogner <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Fri, 27 Feb 2015, Vasileios Vavourakis wrote: > > I was wondering if anyone has come across the idea to implement >> isogeometric analysis using libmesh?
