Using meshless methods on native CAD geometry using isogeometric or XFEM

[MegaMind]

Its time to incorporate CAD models into SOFA without meshing first and working with exact geometries as they are intended. Methods that are claiming success are isogeometric analysis IGA and extended finite element approximations XFEM along with Geometry-functions decoupling.
Some libraries to look at
IGA G+Smo, PetIGA
XFEM GetFEM++, Deal.II

Hi Pavlov,

Is there any question here or is this an information?
For announcement/discussions, you can post on this forum. I’ll move the topic.

There is already people within the community working around meshless methods and XFEM approaches. Do not hesitate to ask any question about it if needed.

Best wishes,

Hugo
