DESCRIPTION:In industrial practice geometry models are first created with 
 computer-aided design (CAD) and then discretised with a boundary-conformin
 g mesh for finite element analysis (FEA). The discretisation process is co
 stly\, error-prone and is becoming a bottleneck with increasing complexity
  of engineering products. In this talk\, we will introduce a novel immerse
 d/embedded finite element technique based on implicit distance field repre
 sentations. The distance field is used for both describing the geometry an
 d enforcing the boundary conditions during the simulation. This approach e
 ffectively eliminates the complex mesh generation procedure. Our ongoing w
 ork in immersed methods aims to increase their efficiency and accuracy whe
 n applied to complex industrial geometries with fine geometrical detail an
 d freeform organic shapes. To demonstrate the benefits of the proposed app
 roach several solid and fluid mechanics simulations will be presented.
