System and method for performing isogeometric analysis and finite element analysis using h-splines

A method for performing H-spline compatible isogeometric analysis (IGA) on a geometric object, the method being performed on a computer device having a memory, the method including the steps of creating an analysis suitable geometry (ASG) using H-splines from the geometric object, the geometric object being represented by H-splines, storing the analysis suitable geometry (ASG) in the memory, and performing the H-spline compatible IGA on the ASG stored in the memory of the computer device to generate the data the represents a stiffness matrix and a force vector of the H-spline compatible IGA.
