In this thesis, the finite cell method (FCM) is extended to different geometric representations, i.e., flawed B-reps, CSG models and V-reps. The latter are used for modeling and simulating functionally graded materials. The FCM is a variant of the finite element method that combines an embedded domain approach with higher-order shape functions. The only geometric information, required by the FCM, are specific point membership classifications, which were developed and implemented for the respective geometric representations.
