Isogeometric independent coefficients method for fast reanalysis of structural modifications

Purpose This paper aims to provide designers/engineers, in engineering structural design and analysis, approaches to freely and accurately modify structures (geometric and/or material), and then quickly provide real-time capability to obtain the numerical solutions of the modified structures (designs). Design/methodology/approach The authors propose an isogeometric independent coefficients (IGA-IC) method for a fast reanalysis of structures with...
