Bridging the CAD-to-Simulation Gap: Integrating Meshing-free Isogeometric Analysis into Industrial Workflows

CDFAM Computational Design Symposium — DC 2026

Matthew Sederberg · Coreform

The traditional “design-to-analysis” loop is often bottlenecked by the laborious process of mesh generation, which can consume up to 80% of total simulation time. This presentation introduces Coreform IGA for Abaqus, a solution that brings CAD-exact isogeometric analysis (IGA) directly into the Abaqus ecosystem. By utilizing Coreform’s Isogeometric Analysis approach, users can perform high-fidelity simulations directly on CAD geometry, effectively bypassing the need for traditional finite element meshing.
