High Order Mesh Curving and Geometry Access

Phase II effort will focus on enhancements to CurveMesh, interfacing with geometry through Project Geode and enabling surface splining of discrete geometry in a commercial mesh tool using SLUGS. CurveMesh will be modifiedto enable mixed order meshes and h-p adaptation in a parallel computing environment. A demonstration of the h-p adaption will be performed by loosely coupling CurveMesh with FUNSAFE (UTC FEM solver) on simple to realistic configurations. A schema will be developed and documented that allows geometry to mesh associativity to be defined for mesh operations downstream of the original mesh creation. The surface splining software, SLUGS, will be incorporated into the Graphical User Interface for Pointwise to permit users to create smooth analytic surfaces from discrete tessellated input geometry.
