    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for computer aided design of physical structures using generative design processes include: obtaining one or more design criteria, a model of an object for which a physical structure is to be manufactured, and a set of eigenmodes from a modal analysis of the model of the object; extracting a proper subset of non-zero eigenmodes from the set of eigenmodes, wherein the proper subset of non-zero eigenmodes include at least three lowest valued, non-zero eigenmodes; combining data of the proper subset of non-zero eigenmodes to form a strain energy field for the model of the object; iteratively modifying a generatively designed shape of the model of the object using the strain energy field to drive changes to the generatively designed shape of the model; and providing the generatively designed shape of the model of the object.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for computer aided design of physical structures include: obtaining a design space, design criteria, and boundary conditions for numerical simulation; defining an application of the boundary conditions to a voxelized mesh, including specifying a distribution of a load to nodes of voxels in the voxelized mesh that correspond to a surface of preserve geometry; and iteratively modifying a generatively designed three dimensional shape in the design space in accordance with the design criteria and a physical response of the modeled object determined by the numerical simulation performed using the application of the boundary conditions to the voxelized mesh, wherein the distribution of the total loading value during determination of the physical response ensures an equivalence between the total loading value and a sum of loading values distributed to the respective nodes of the voxels that correspond to the surface.
