Watertight trimmed NURBS

open access: yesACM SIGGRAPH 2008 papers, 2008
This paper addresses the long-standing problem of the unavoidable gaps that arise when expressing the intersection of two NURBS surfaces using conventional trimmed-NURBS representation. The solution converts each trimmed NURBS into an untrimmed T-Spline, and then merges the untrimmed T-Splines into a single, watertight model.

Procedural Multiscale Geometry Modeling using Implicit Surfaces

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, Volume 44, Issue 7, October 2025.
Abstract Materials exhibit geometric structures across mesoscopic to microscopic scales, influencing macroscale properties such as appearance, mechanical strength, and thermal behavior. Capturing and modeling these multiscale structures is challenging but essential for computer graphics, engineering, and materials science.

Least‐Squares Projected Models for Non‐Intrusive Affinization of Reduced Basis Methods

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 126, Issue 18, 30 September 2025.
ABSTRACT Reduced‐basis methods (RBMs) constitute a promising technique for delivering numerical solutions of parameterized PDEs in real time and with reasonable accuracy. The most significant drawback of RBMs is the requirement of parametric affinity, a condition that only very trivial problems satisfy.

Simulating and correcting the pileup effect in deep‐silicon photon‐counting CT

open access: yesMedical Physics, Volume 52, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Background Photon‐counting computed tomography (CT) bears promise to substantially improve spectral and spatial resolution. One reason for the relatively slow evolution of photon‐counting detectors in CT—the technology has been used in nuclear medicine and planar radiology for decades—is pulse pileup, that is, the random staggering of pulses ...

Parametric modeling for automated intelligent design of concrete beam bridges: A global and local optimization approach

open access: yesStructural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 4, Page 4083-4102, August 2025.
Abstract The structural design of prestressed concrete girders in beam bridges is performed by coupling 3D parametric modeling, optimization, and statistical techniques, structural analysis, and design. The objective is to explore the potential and advantages of advanced design methodologies based on intelligent design.

One‐Shot Method for Computing Generalized Winding Numbers

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, Volume 44, Issue 5, August 2025.
Abstract The generalized winding number is an essential part of the geometry processing toolkit, allowing to quantify how much a given point is inside a surface, even when the surface has boundaries and noise. We propose a new universal method to compute a generalized winding number, based only on the surface boundary and the intersections of a single ...

Nonintrusive Local/Global Coupling With Local Deep Learning‐Based Models for the Effective Simulation of Spotwelded Structures Under Impact

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 126, Issue 14, 30 July 2025.
ABSTRACT The article tackles the challenge of effective modeling and simulation of large mechanical structures exhibiting numerous local complex behaviors, as encountered with spot welds in automotive crash numerical analysis. To address this challenge, we propose a nonintrusive local/global coupling strategy, where the local model is a neural network ...
