IGA activity at SINTEF
SINTEF have made innovative contributions to IGA and together with NTNU (Department of Mathematical Sciences and Department Structural Mechanics) and UiO (Department of Mathmatics) represent the Norwegian IGA Node (NIGAN) that is among the worlds leading groups of IGA education, research and software development. In particular, we have pioneered the Local Refined B-Splines (LR B-splines) both as a computational geometry tool (Dokken et al. 2013) and as an adaptive analysis tool (Johannessen et al. 2014; Kumar et al. 2015; Kumar et al. 2017). In (Stahl et al. 2017) we show how we may enable interoperability (similar mathematical representation of geometry and physical unknowns) throughout the design, analysis and visualization process.
