Master Thesis Crack Modeling in Trimmed Isogeometric Shells (f­­/­­m­­/­­x)

Our brands BMW, MINI, Rolls-Royce and BMW Motorrad have made us one of the world's leading premium manufacturer of cars and motorcycles as well as provider of premium financial and mobility services. We believe in creating an environment where our interns really can learn by doing and where they are given their own areas of responsibility right from the start of their time with us. That's why our experts will treat you as part of the team from day one, encourage you to bring your own ideas to the table - and give you the opportunity to really show what you can do. We, the BMW Group, offer you an interesting and varied master thesis in the area of explicit Isogeometric Analysis (IGA). IGA is a novel simulation method that generalizes conventional Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The key concept of IGA is to directly use the B-spline and NURBS basis functions, commonly employed for CAD geometry representation, to also describe the solution fields. This enables a faster design-through-analysis workflow and avoids time-consuming model conversions.
