spring 2019 TEK-8503 Advanced Geometric Modelling - 5 ECTS
Type of course
The subject can be taken as a singular course.
- The PhD course is primarily open to UiT's PhD students (Category 1).
One or more of these categories of course students may also
be admitted:
- Category 2: Participants in the Associate Professor programme that fulfil the educational requirements.
- Category 3: Doctoral students from other universities.
- Category 4: People with a minimum of a master's degree (or equivalent), who have not been admitted to a doctoral programme.
Course content
The objective of the course is to give candidates an understanding of new theories in curve and surface modeling and description, iterative methods, use of blending in geometric descriptions, triangle based geometry. The students will get a thorough view on modern techniques in geometric modelling, emphasizing practical methods and the mathematical theory.Barycentric coordinates, curves on surfaces, sub division and blending methods for curves and surfaces, geometric continuity, curve and surface fitting, triangle based geometry and introduction to isogeometric analysis. The course will focus on application for engineering computations, where shaping and computations (finite element method) are integrated.
