Abstract
Isogeometric analysis has gained significant traction over the last decade, but there still do not exist strong methods for reconstructing trimmed or faceted geometries into models suitable for boundary-fit spline analysis. In this paper, we integrate new theory and tools from computational geometry into a framework suitable for reconstructing industrially relevant models. We demonstrate the efficacy of the framework by reconstructing the chassis of a 1996 Dodge Neon and using the reconstructed splines as input for isogeometric modal analysis in LS-DYNA.
