Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) is a new computer method that has gained much attention in recent years. Its distinguishing feature is the use of parametric representation of curves, surfaces and solids, based on Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines, which are also used as shape functions in Galerkin approximation schemes. NURBS are commonly used in CAD modelling packages, thus among other advantages IGA facilitates use of CAD models as geometric domains for solving Boundary Value Problems. IGA is a relatively young method and despite its popularity there still is a small number of tools available, especially in comparison with Finite Element Method. This is notably nagging issue in case of tools for preparing geometric models for IGA. In this paper we discuss several popular tools and tricks that can be used in place of dedicated IGA preprocessor. The presented techniques can be particularly useful for researchers interested in starting work in IGA field, as they can speed up generation of comprehensive models and are incentive for data sharing, an important point from research reproducibility perspective.
