Micro Abstract:
We present a framework for isogeometric analysis on unstructured quadrilateral meshes. Acknowledging the differing requirements posed by design and analysis, we propose the construction of a separate, smooth spline space for each, while ensuring isogeometric compatibility. A key ingredient in the approach is the use of singular parameterizations at extraordinary vertices. We demonstrate the versatility of the approach with applications in design and analysis.
