IGANets: Isogeometric analysis networks and their applications to linear structural analysis problems

Abstract Fast numerical predictions have become an indispensable component of modern engineering design workflows, whether in interactive design within computer-aided design (CAD) environments or in multi-query numerical tasks such as design optimization and uncertainty quantification. Depending on the context, “fast” may refer to near real-time predictions within a few seconds, or simply to methods that are significantly faster than high-fidelity simulations, for example those based on the fini
