Abstract The framework for the linkage between geometric modeling and an analysis based on the NURBS technology is developed in this study. In the present study, The NURBS surfaces were generated by interpolating a given set of data points or by extracting the necessary information to construct the NURBS surface from the IGES format file which was generated by the commercial CAD systems. Numerical examples showed the rate of displacement convergence for the various parameter-izations of the NURBS surface. Quadric surface, which is generated exactly by NURBS representation, was considered. One of the important advantages of More >
