Autumn School IGA

Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) is a finite-element-type method that uses the same basis functions to represent the solution (e.g., displacement field) and to describe the geometry of the problem domain. This integration allows for a an accurate representation of the geometry and can lead to improved convergence rates in numerical simulations compared to traditional methods that use separate representations for the geometry and solution spaces. It has been applied to various fields, including solid mechanics, fluid dynamics and electromagnetics. In the context of the project CREATOR it has proven advantageous for the simulation of rotating electric machines. Therefore an Autumn School with this topic is planned in November 2024, which is open to all affiliates of CREATOR.
