Abstract

This paper introduces S-spline curves and surfaces. Local refinement of S-spline surfaces is much simpler to understand and to implement than T-spline refinement. Furthermore, no unwanted control points arise in S-spline refinement, unlike T-spline refinement. The refinement algorithm assures linear independence of blending functions. Thus, for isogeometric analysis, S-spline surfaces provide optimal degrees of freedom during adaptive local refinement. S-splines are compatible with NURBS and T-splines, and can easily be added to existing T-spline implementations.
