  • Abstract: The project aims at significant improvement of the interoperability of computational tools for the design, analysis and optimization of functional products. An isogeometric approach is applied for selected manufacturing application areas (cars, trains, aircrafts) and for computer-aided machining. Computer Aided Design (CAD) and numerical simulation algorithms are vital technologies in modern product development, yet they are today far from being seamlessly integrated. Their interoperability is severely disturbed by inconsistencies in the mathematical approaches used. Efficient feedback from analysis to CAD and iterative refinement of the analysis model is a feature of isogeometric analysis, and would be an essential improvement for computer-based design optimization and virtual product development. Our vision is to provide and disseminate tangible evidence of the performance of the isogeometric approach in comparison to traditional ones in four important application areas as well as addressing interoperability and other issues that necessarily arise in a large-scale industrial introduction of isogeometry.

PHC TOURNESOL FL
  • Program: TOURNESOL

  • Project acronym: PHC TOURNESOL FL 2012 - 26409SH

  • Project title: Extracting multidimensional shapes

  • Duration: January 2012 - December 2013

  • Coordinator: E. Hubert (Inria), A. Cuyt (Universiteit Antwerpen)

  • Other partners: Inria Sophia-Antipolis (France); Universiteit Antwerpen (Belgium)

  • Abstract: We are working on the shape-from-moments problem : from measurement-like data, reconstructing a desired object. For many years, this problem has been solved and optimized in the 2D-case thanks to use of complex numbers. Thanks to a new formula, we want to stay in the real domain in order to generalize this problem to multidimensional shapes - in particular 3D-shapes.
