| Résumé: | © The Author(s) 2024. We present an algorithm for fast generation of quasi-uniform and variable-spacing nodes on domains whose boundaries are represented as computer-aided design (CAD) models, more specifically non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS). This new algorithm enables the solution of partial differential equations within the volumes enclosed by these CAD models using (collocation-based) meshless numerical discretizations. Our hierarchical algorithm first generates quasi-uniform node sets directly on the NURBS surfaces representing the domain boundary, then uses the NURBS representation in conjunction with the surface nodes to generate nodes within the volume enclosed by the NURBS surface. We provide evidence for the quality of these node sets by analyzing them in terms of local regularity and separation distances. Finally, we demonstrate that these node sets are well-suited (both in terms of accuracy and numerical stability) for meshless radial basis function generated finite differences discretizations of the Poisson, Navier-Cauchy, and heat equations. Our algorithm constitutes an important step in bridging the field of node generation for meshless discretizations with isogeometric analysis |
