Abstract
Space separation within the Proper Generalized Decomposition—PGD—rationale allows solving high dimensional problems as a sequence of lower dimensional ones. In our former works, different geometrical transformations were proposed for addressing complex shapes and spatially non-separable domains. Efficient implementation of separated representations needs expressing the domain as a product of characteristic functions involving the different space coordinates. In the case of complex shapes, more sophisticated geometrical transformations are needed to map the complex physical domain into a regular one where computations are performed. This paper aims at proposing a very efficient route for accomplishing such space separation. A NURBS-based geometry representation, usual in computer aided design—CAD—, is retained and combined with a fully separated representation for allying efficiency (ensured by the fully separated representations) and generality (by addressing complex geometries). Some numerical examples are considered to prove the potential of the proposed methodology.

Studies of refinement and continuity in isogeometric structural analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of smoothness of basis functions on solution accuracy within the isogeometric analysis framework were investigated. And they concluded that the potential for the k-method is high, but smoothness is an issue that is not well understood due to the historical dominance of C 0 -continuous finite elements.
