nligaStruct is an extension of NLIGA in aspect of isogeometric structural analysis. A framework for Bézier extraction of T-spline and NURBS is embedded in the simulation pipeline. Both Reissner-Mindlin and Kirchhoff-Love assumptions are considered in the case of static bending and free vibration analysis of thin-walled structures (plates and shells). The convergence behaviors of these two assumptions for both plate and shell are thoroughly studied and compared. Three types of hyperelastic materials, including St. Venant-Kirchhoff, incompressible neo-Hookean and compressible neo-Hookean, are employed in the large deformation of Kirchhoff-Love shells. A series of popular benchmark examples and their geometrical models are demonstrated in the package.
