    Abstract: A computer-aided design system includes a display device, a memory storing a plurality of response surface models, and a processor configured to: (a) display a graphical user interface that includes a model of a vehicle frame; (b) display a section configuration panel that includes one or more section dimension values for one or more section dimensions of a first section member of the plurality of section members; (c) retrieve a first response surface model based on values of the one or more section dimensions for the first section member; (d) determine one or more predicted values associated with the first section member based on the values of the section dimensions, the predicted values include one or more predicted crash resistances for the section member; and (e) display the predicted values, thereby allowing the user to evaluate the predicted values for suitability in vehicle design.

    Abstract: An example embodiment designs a real-world object by defining a first model of the object being produced using an additive manufacturing (AM) process, where behavior of the object being produced is given by a first equation which includes a first plurality of corresponding sensitivity equations for a first plurality of design variables. Similarly, such an embodiment defines a second model of the object after being produced, wherein behavior of the object after being produced is given by a second equation which includes a second plurality of corresponding sensitivity equations for a second plurality of design variables. In turn, the second model is iteratively optimized with respect to a given one of the second plurality of design variables using both the first plurality of corresponding sensitivity equations and the second plurality of corresponding sensitivity equations.

    Abstract: A system and method for simulating activity of a fluid in a volume that represents a physical space, the activity of the fluid in the volume being simulated so as to model movement of elements within the volume. The method includes at a first time, identifying a first set of vortices in a transient and turbulent flow. The method includes at a second time that is subsequent to the first time, identifying a second set of vortices. The method includes tracking changes in the vortices by comparing the first set and the second set of discrete vortices. The method includes identifying one or more noise sources based on the tracking. The method includes determining the contribution of one or more noise sources at a receiver. The method also includes outputting data indicating one or more modifications to one or more geometric features of a device or an entity.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for the generation and use of an electro-thermal battery model. One of the methods includes obtaining battery data comprising voltage values, with each voltage value corresponding to an operating state of the battery. The method includes selecting a battery model, the battery model having convex parameters and non-convex parameters. The method includes processing the battery data by performing a fitting procedure to determine values of the convex parameters and non-convex parameters. The fitting procedure includes fitting the convex parameters with respect to the battery data during which the non-convex parameters are held fixed. The fitting procedure includes fitting the non-convex parameters with respect to the battery data. The fitting procedure also includes creating an electro-thermal model for a battery from the selected battery model using the fitted values of the convex and non-convex parameters.
