Computational simulation is critical in the modern engineering design process. Currently,
the use of simulation is limited by the time-consuming process of converting CAD …

This paper describes an automatic method for identifying thin-sheet regions (regions with
large lateral dimensions relative to the thickness) for complex thin-walled components, with …

Volume decomposition is a technique to decompose a computer aided design (CAD) model
into sweepable subvolumes, by which better types of mesh can be generated. A thin-shell …

Generating structured meshes is often an expensive process, limiting the use of high-fidelity
numerical simulation methods for design, especially when the design is not yet fixed and …

This paper describes a decomposition strategy for hex meshing CAD assembly models
consisting of quasi-axisymmetric components. A symmetry-based decomposition technique …

An equivalent non-manifold cellular model is used to enrich manifold decompositions of a
CAD model to create a model suitable for finite element analysis. Thin-sheet and long …

Kernziel der Arbeit ist es, einen Beitrag zur Konzeptfindung und zur strukturmechanischen
Optimierung von Anbindungsstrukturen für Planetengetriebe in Flugtriebwerken zu leisten …

The established component structural design process is based on evaluations of high fidelity
FE models of the local structure while incorporating estimates of the structural behaviour of …

Generating hexahedral meshes is often an expensive process, which limits the use of high-
fidelity numerical simulation methods for design. Hexahedral meshes can be generated by …

Computer-aided engineering methods have been increasingly used in various industries to
support the design of complex systems and validate their performance by simulating their …
