Study of Effect of Weight Variation on Shape and Material Allocation on Heterogeneous NURBS Surface and Hyperpatch

Abstract

The surfaces and hyperpatch models constructed by the NURBS-based approach provide an advantage of shape modification and have varying mesh-structure. No observations based on material distribution on the surface and hyperpatch models were done until now. The heterogeneous models of the NURBS surface and NURBS solid hyperpatch models were based on the Unevaluated models as per the Control-Point-Based modelling approach was followed. The material allocated gets interpolated over the surface and hyperpatch models. The material distribution does vary, and the effect of weight variation on material allocation does become significant for them.
