Modeling and Analysis of Real World and Industry Applications with Geomiso ISA: Α New Hybrid CAD/CAE Software for Static Isogeometric Analysis with Plate Elements and Advanced Spline Techniques

Abstract

In this paper, we propose Geomiso ISA (www.geomiso.com), a new hybrid software for applications on static isogeometric analysis with plate elements. It is based on the IGA, the powerful generalization of the traditional FEA, which, in combination with the plate theory, has attracted increasing attention in construction industry over the last decade, as it achieves efficient design-through-analysis procedures and shows superior performance. This recently developed program is not just a plug-in, but a both on-premises and cloud-based software solution, applicable to thin (Kirchhoff-Love) and thick (Mindlin-Reissner) plates. It is used to simulate spline models of slabs and analyze their strength and behavior, while it has many features in common with both FEA software and design programs. This software solution addresses the rising industrial need for seamless integration of CAD and CAE, while it appears to be more efficient to FEA software packages with major improvements, as it facilitates the geometry modeling within analysis, and achieves superior accuracy per degreeof-freedom with shortened computational cost. This is the first time ever such a cloud-based program has been developed.
