The main advantage of this approach is the capability to work with an exact representation of the geometry of the model. The analyzer is able to get, from a B-rep model representation, all the geometric information; so it does not need to mesh the model. The method is applied to 3D potential problem - Laplace's equation, but it is straight forward to apply to other problems (e.g. mechanical). Numerical results, for several electrostatics examples are shown.3enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessjournal articleGeneral Engineeringhttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=0029771411&partnerID=8YFLogxK
