Shell formulations

Reissner-Mindlin - with and without rotational DOF

Kirchhoff-Love

Blended - selective addition of rotational DOFs

Consistent or lumped mass matrix

Integration schemes

Standard or uniformly reduced Gaussian quadrature

Patch-wise reduced Gaussian quadrature (quadratic NURBS only)

Designed quadrature rules (trimmed elements only)

Uniformly sized interpolation elements

Improved keyword format for trimmed shells

Trimming loops are represented by NURBS curves

Topology preserving - backward compatibility with CAD

Trimming is a generic capability - user defined Splines

Pre-processing

Analysis suitable geometry (ASG) is unlikely to be prepared by the draftsmen/designer

Generating (an editable) ASG is essential and necessary - meshing is analysis dependent

Accommodate ASG in the new STEP standard

Analysis

Rethink and enable existing FEA capabilities for IGA - 9M+ lines of code in LS-DYNA

Coupling of patches/parts (shell to shell and shell to solid)

Adaptive mesh refinement

Further enhance support for geometric input

Increase efficiency - SMP, MPP, and hybrid

Continue coupling with different formulations, e.g. FEA (mostly done), acoustics, EM, ICFD,

meshless, etc.

Post-processing

Enhance field rendering capabilities in LS-PrePost

Future Challenges
