    Abstract: A method preserves shapes in a solid model when distributing material during topological optimization. A 3D geometric model of a part having a boundary shape is received. The geometric model is pre-processed to produce a variable-void distance field and to produce a frozen distance field representing the boundary shape. The geometric model is apportioned into a plurality of voxels, and a density value is adjusted for each voxel according to an optimization process. An iso-surface mesh is extracted from the voxel data, and an iso-surface distance field is generated from the extracted iso-surface mesh. A distance field intersection is derived between the iso-surface distance field and the variable-void distance field. A distance field union is performed between the distance field intersection and the frozen distance field, and a result iso-surface mesh is produced from the distance field union.

    Abstract: An efficient wire route is determined through an assembly avoiding collisions with a plurality of electrical-mechanical assembly components. A first wire route termination location and a second wire route termination location in a received three dimensional (3D) model of the assembly. The received 3D model is converted into a volume model distinguishing between occupied and available space. A wire route is found from the first wire route termination location through the assembly available space to the second wire route termination location, and an image of the wire route in the model of the assembly is displayed.
