Abstract:Numerical simulations of structures using higher-order finite elements is still a challenging task, in particular for domains with curved boundaries. A new higher-order accurate approach is proposed, combining the advantages of the classical p-FEM with embedded domain methods. Boundaries and/or interfaces are described implicitly using the level set method. In the elements cut by the zero level set, an automatic decomposition into interface aligned, i.e. conforming sub-elements is realized. Transfinite mapping… Show more
