This paper provides a detailed review of the global/local non-intrusive coupling algorithm.
Such method allows to alter a global finite element model, without actually modifying its …

This paper presents a multiscale computational framework able to resolve localized defects
and features such as cracks and welds in large structures. It couples Abaqus models and 3 …

Isogeometric analysis (IGA) consists of using the same higher-order and smooth spline
functions for the representation of geometry in Computer Aided Design as for the …

The non-invasive global–local coupling algorithm is revisited and shown to realize a simple
implementation of the optimized non-overlapping Schwarz domain decomposition method …

Despite their interest, multi-scale methods based on domain decomposition are rarely used
or even implemented within legacy codes. The reason is that their implementation is very …

In this work, we propose a new non-intrusive coupling algorithm for global/local
isogeometric structural analysis. In contrast to the existing non-intrusive strategies that rely …

Fully 3-D models can be prohibitively expensive when dealing with industrial-scale
problems while plate and shell models are not able to capture localized 3-D effects around …

In this work, we develop a mortar method for the coupling of non-conforming NURBS
subdomains within a NURBS patch that keeps the benefit of using more regular functions …

In this work, we apply a non-intrusive global/local coupling strategy for the modelling of local
phenomena in a NURBS patch. The idea is to consider the NURBS patch to be enriched as …

The multiscale analysis of large composite aeronautical structures involves the development
of robust coupling strategies. Among the latter, non-intrusive coupling is attractive, since it is …
