This book is an entertaining, easy to read introduction to advanced numerical modeling. The aim of the book is to lead the reader on a journey towards the ‘holy grail’ of numerical simulation, namely one without the requirement of mesh generation, that takes data directly from CAD programs. On this journey readers will discover the beauty of Non-uniform Rational B-Splines or NURBS and see how well... Read more

Biography
Gernot Beer has been working in the area of numerical simulation since 1975 and has published 4 books on this topic. He has been involved in applying numerical simulation in numerous projects around the world, including the design of caverns for the CERN facility in Geneva and the investigation of a large underground power station in Iran. After working in a consulting office and for a large scientific and industrial research organisation he was appointed in 1993 as professor for structural analysis at the University of Technology Graz, Austria. Since 2012 he is emeritus professor of this institution.
