Abstract: A design engine automates portions of a mechanical assembly design process. The design engine generates a user interface that exposes tools for capturing input data related to the design problem. Based on the input data, the design engine performs various operations to generate a formalized problem definition that can be processed by a goal-driven optimization algorithm. The goal-driven optimization algorithm generates a spectrum of potential design options. Each design option describes a mechanical assembly representing a potential solution to the design problem.

Abstract: A command map GUI that illustrates command usage patterns of one or more entities. A server receives and stores command usage data from a plurality of users/clients, each user/client executing a software application having a set of commands. A current user/client displays, via a GUI, graphical representations of the command usage data received from the server. The server receives new command usage data from a user/client included in the one or more entities. In response, the server automatically updates command usage data for the one or more entities, pushes the updated command usage data to the current user/client, and causes the GUI to display graphical representations of the updated command usage data. Thus, the command usage data of the one or more entities is automatically updated and displayed in the GUI in real-time or near real-time as new commands are continually invoked by users in the one or more entities.

Abstract: A design simulator executes a rigid body simulation to position design elements within various design options according to configurations that meet design criteria while also promoting feasibility and desirability. The design simulator assigns physical properties to each design element, including a mass value and a velocity value. The design simulator then simulates rigid body interactions between design elements over a sequence of simulation steps. The design simulator stops the rigid body simulation when no collisions between design elements are detected or when other termination criteria are met. Once the rigid body simulation is complete, the final positions of each design element relative to one another represent a specific configuration of design elements for the corresponding design option.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for a machine learning approach for piecewise linear interface construction include: obtaining a cell fraction for a mesh cell in a mesh, a normal vector perpendicular to a linear interface for the mesh cell, and geometry information of the mesh cell, wherein the geometry information includes at least two data values; normalizing the geometry information of the mesh cell to reduce the at least two data values to at least one data value; obtaining an output value from a machine learning algorithm, previously trained using normalized geometry information of multiple different cells of a same mesh type as the mesh cell; determining the linear interface for the mesh cell based on the output value, the normal vector and the geometry information; using the linear interface for the mesh cell in numerical simulation processing of the mesh.

Abstract: A method, system, apparatus, and article of manufacture provide the ability to perform multiple actions based on a reality captured image. An adjustable splitter splits a viewport into viewing panes with the ability to freely adjust the splitter angle. A sphere represents a view of a scene from a viewpoint and used to render an interactive preview of the view without moving to the viewpoint. A series of 2D images may be used to simulate the navigation of a 3D model in an expedited manner. A 3D mesh error scroll bar is used navigate unsorted errors resulting from mesh creation. An interactive gradient map can be used to select a points based on a range of values for non-geometric parameters. An irregularly shaped mesh selection boundary can be directly modified by stretching. An elevation slice of a 3D model can be defined and isolated for viewing/manipulation.

Abstract: A method and system provide the ability to parametrize a sketch. A sketch is acquired and includes raster lines that define a raster image based floor-plan sketch. Vectorized geometry is generated from the sketch dynamically in real time based on raster lines. A parametric model that is optimizable is generated from the vectorized geometry. The parametric model is generated dynamically in real time, and the raster lines are represented in the parametric model as three-dimensional walls. The parametric model is displayed and edited. Upon editing a parameter of a three-dimensional wall, other parameters in the parametric model are autonomously updated.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for designing a four-bar linkage mechanism. The technique includes receiving an input coupler curve that defines motion within a plane with respect to a point that is to be included on the four-bar linkage mechanism; generating a set of sample points, wherein each point in the set of sample points corresponds to a different location on the input coupler curve; and implementing a global optimization solver to generate a first design for the four-bar linkage mechanism. The first design includes at least one value for each geometric variable included in a set of geometric variables associated with the four-bar linkage, where at least one of the geometric variables is based on one of the sample points. The first design generates an output coupler curve that approximates the input coupler curve.

Abstract: A fused filament fabrication three dimensional printing system includes a build platform, an extruder for one or more deposition materials, the extruder including at least one nozzle movable relative to the build platform, and a controller configured to control the relative movement between the build platform and the nozzle, and to cause material to be extruded out of the nozzle to form a 3D object on the build platform. The build platform includes a first plate on which the 3D object is formed, a second plate that is positioned vertically below the first plate and defines at least one gap between the first and second plates, and a heating element that is configured to heat the second plate. The first plate defines at least one opening that is configured to allow passage of material extruded from the nozzle into the at least one gap between the first and second plates.

Abstract: Embodiments presented herein include a method for altering a first annotation associated with a media file. This method may generally include the technique for receiving the media file wherein the media file contains the first annotation which is associated with a first playback speed of the media file. A second playback speed is received for the media file. A second annotation is generated based on the second playback speed of the media file based on the first annotation associated with the first playback speed of the media file. The second annotation is associated with the second playback speed of the media file and, at the second playback speed, the media file concurrently plays the second annotation.
