The recent advancement of solid freefonn fabrication, design techniques and fundamental understanding of material properties in functionally graded materials has made it possible to design and fabricate multifunctional heterogeneous objects. In this paper, we present an integrated design and analysis approach for heterogeneous object realization, which employs a unified design and analysis model based on B-spline representation and allows for direct interaction between the design and analysis model without laborious meshing operation. In the design module, a new approach for intuitively modelling of multi-material objects, termed heterogeneous lofting, is presented. In the analysis module, a novel graded B-spline finite element solution procedure is described, which gives orders of magnitude of better convergence rate in comparison with current methods, as demonstrated in several case studies. Further advantages of this approach include simplified mesh construction, exact geometry/material composition representation and easy extraction of an isomaterial surface for manufacturing process planning.
