10:30 Tutorial: “Parametric surfaces – Rhino/Grasshopper Masterclass”

• Abstract: During the course of this Masterclass we will quickly go through the Rhinoceros3d & Grasshopper3d interface, geometry types and modeling logic while rushing towards the goal of the creation and editing of mathematical curves & surfaces. Along the way, principles of curvature and continuity (both for curves & surfaces) will be addressed, as well as the parameter space of curve and surface and generalization techniques to a line & a plane, respectively.

10:30 Coffee break
11:00 Tutorial: RISC-Software: “An Introduction to Programming with the Virtual Modeling Library”

• Abstract: The Virtual Modeling Library (VML) is a software library, which implements new algorithms for the exact geometric modeling of solids for real-time simulations. It supports Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) like operations and solid sweeping. The VML supports a good scalability relating the number of modeling operations. This makes the library best suited for industrial applications with combined needs in geometric accuracy, real-time behavior, and scalability, like the simulation of material removal in machining processes with high number of processing steps. Besides modeling the VML supports algorithms for interactive visualization, collision detection between any geometry and the current geometry, and surface verification of the current geometry against a reference CAD model. These algorithms fulfill the combined needs as well. In order to satisfy the strict timing conditions of real-time simulations, the VML implements massive parallel algorithms, which make best use of the potential of modern hardware architectures, like Multi-Core Central Processing Units (CPUs) and Graphic Processing Units (GPUs). Beside the already mentioned features, the VML offers surface export, the definition of arbitrary sectional views, and the ease of integration. In this tutorial you will learn how to use the VML programming interface based on Python examples.
• Software requirements:
  * Operating system: Windows 7/8/10 (64-Bit)
  * Text editor or IDE for Python
  * Meshlab (http://www.meshlab.net) for analyzing triangle meshes (provided on USB stick)
  * VTK with Python (http://www.vtk.org/files/release/7.1/vtkpython-7.1.1-Windows-64bit.exe) (provided on USB stick)

Thursday November 30
09:00 Tutorial: A. Mantzaflaris (RICAM): “G+Smo: Geometry + Simulation Modules”

• Abstract: In this tutorial we will demonstrate the functionalities of the G+Smo library. G+Smo (Geometry + Simulation Modules, pronounced “gismo”) is a new open-source C++ library that brings together mathematical tools for geometric design and numerical simulation. It is developed mainly by researchers and PhD students. It implements the relatively new paradigm of isogeometric analysis, which suggests the use of a unified framework in the design and analysis pipeline. The library is partitioned into smaller entities, called modules. Examples of available modules include the dimension-independent NURBS module, the modeling and data fitting module, the PDE discretization module and the adaptive spline module. The library is licensed under the Mozilla Public License v2.0.
• Requirements: For this tutorial a C++ compiler is required (eg. Visual C++ or GCC on linux) as well as ParaView and CMake. Extensive instructions are available at http://gs.jku.at/trac/gismo/wiki/public/Compiling. The source code of the library is available at https://github.com/filiatra/gismo.
