The final review for the FY20 Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC) Integrated Codes (IC) L2 Milestone #7181 was conducted on August 31, 2020 at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The review panel unanimously agreed that the milestone has been successfully completed. Roshan Quadros (1543) led the milestone team and various members from the team presented the results. The review panel was comprised of staff from Sandia National Laboratories Albuquerque and California that are involved with computational engineering modeling and analysis. The panel consisted of experts in the fields of solid modeling, discretization, meshing, simulation workflows, and computational analysis including personnel Brett Clark (1543, Chair); Jay Foulk (8363); Jackie Moore (1553); Ron Kensek (1341); Ed Hoffman (8753); Dan Ibanez (1443). The presentation documented the technical approach of the team and summarized the results with sufficient detail to demonstrate both the value and the completion of the milestone. A separate SAND report was also generated with more detail to supplement the presentation. The purpose of the milestone was to advance capabilities for automatically finding, displaying, and resolving geometric overlaps in CAD models.

An error estimation driven adaptive tetrahedral workflow for full engineering models

Tetrahedral finite element workflows have the potential to drastically reduce time to solution for computational solid mechanics simulations when compared to traditional hexahedral finite element analogues. A recently developed, higher-order composite tetrahedral element has shown promise in the space of incompressible computational plasticity. Mesh adaptivity has the potential to increase solution accuracy and increase solution robustness. In this work, we demonstrate an initial strategy to perform conformal mesh adaptivity for this higher-order composite tetrahedral element using well-established mesh modification operations for linear tetrahedra. We propose potential extensions to improve this initial strategy in terms of robustness and accuracy.
