Description:
Geometric models form the basis for the construction of domain discretizations used in many computational mechanics simulations. Geometry represents a bottleneck to high-fidelity simulation because of the work required to convert a typical CAD model into the desired analysis model. There are also growing opportunities to use geometry to support advanced techniques like geometry-fitted adaptive mesh refinement, smooth-surface contact detection, and coarsening of mesh models. We invite submissions describing geometric algorithms used during all stages of the mechanics analysis process.

Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

Reconstruction of smooth surfaces from facet data; Geometric detail suppression; Geometry support for boundary condition evaluation in FEA; Smooth-surface contact detection and enforcement in FEA; Feature-based decomposition for hexahedral mesh generation; Dimensional reduction of geometric models; Generation of medial axis transform and applications in mechanics; Generic interfaces to geometric modelers; Geometric complexity assessment for mesh generation; Geometry-fitted adaptive mesh refinement; Geometry acquisition from biological or scanned data; "Virtual geometry" representations and applications; Geometry-based sizing for mesh generation; Design optimization on model geometry; Geometry support for parallel or distributed mechanics simulations.
