Abstract:
We present an implementation of a three-dimensional p-version for structural problems of solids with almost arbitrarily curved surfaces. The blending function technique for geometric mapping allows to design a client server software structure, completely seperating the geometric model from the finite element analysis part of the program. Numerical examples show the efficiency of this approach.
