Multi-physics Optimization Research and Innovation System (2023)
MORIS is a research code developed at the University of Colorado in the Aerospace Mechanics Research Center (AMRec)* by Kurt Maute's research group. AMRec was started in the 1990's under the name "Center for Aerospace Structures". It is housed in the Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences.
This code provides a research platform for PDE constrained optimization with focus on shape and topology optimization using an isogeometric formulation of the extended finite element method.
A script to install moris can be found in InstallScript. Edit the script and verify/update a small number of installation parameters. Should the script fail, detailed install instructions can be found at Install_Step_By_Step.txt
After installing moris, developers should follow the build instructions Build_Instructions to build moris in either debug or release (opt) mode.
Documentation for generating and outputting meshes and extraction operators as defined in this paper can be found here. GitHub's integrated PDF viewer doesn't support links, so please download the pdf to use them. Example input files can be found in share/doc/mesh_generation/examples.
