Application: Generative design shape optimization with singularities and disconnection prevention for computer aided design and manufacturing (Patent ID: US20230324882A1)
Autodesk Inc. has filed a patent for methods, systems, and apparatus for computer-aided design of physical structures using generative design processes. The method involves obtaining load cases and design criteria for a modeled object, iteratively modifying the three-dimensional shape of the object based on the criteria and load cases, regulating shape change velocities for the implicit surface representation, and providing the final shape for manufacturing using computer-controlled systems. The process includes adjusting shape change velocities, slowing shape changes in response to excessive changes, and removing elements not connected to the current shape. Additionally, the system involves cooperative operation between multiple computers to carry out the design process efficiently.
The patent claims detail the method steps, including regulating shape change velocities, adjusting shape changes based on polynomial functions, and penalizing stiffness during numerical simulation. The system claims involve cooperative operation between networked computers to obtain load cases, modify the shape iteratively, and provide the final shape for manufacturing. The system also includes features such as adjusting target volume changes, identifying elements within the implicit surface, and computing shape change velocities using a derivative formula. Overall, the patent and claims outline a comprehensive approach to generative design processes for physical structures, emphasizing iterative modifications, shape regulation, and cooperative system operation for efficient manufacturing outcomes.
