The modal synthesis method is frequently used for the analysis of large structures composed of multiple parts concerning dynamic aspects. In this paper, we extended the modal synthesis method under the isogeometric analysis framework. The isogeometric Kirchhoff–Love shell elements are used for the analysis of the substructures, the Craig–Bampton method is used for the modal synthesis and the bending-strip method is used for the substructures coupling. We give examples on the modal analysis and the harmonic response analysis. The results show the effectiveness of the method.
