    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for designing manufacturing facilities. A design application imports a computer-aided design (CAD) model and metadata associated with a manufacturing facility to generate a data set that specifies geometric and manufacturing constraints of the manufacturing facility. The design application performs optimization operations based on the data set to identify one or more high-performing designs that assign components to docks in the manufacturing facility. The optimization operations can include genetic optimization operations that generate multiple generations of designs, each of which is evaluated based on a travel distance, congestion, and number of turns associated with paths traversed by components for the design.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating a building design for a building site having a complex shape comprises: generating a first group of processing areas from a plurality of processing areas associated with the building design and a second group of processing areas from the plurality of processing areas; generating a first building footprint leg that is sized to include the first group of processing areas and a second building footprint leg that is sized to include the second group of processing areas; at a pivot location, joining the first building footprint leg and the second building footprint leg at an aperture angle; performing a numerical simulation to position the first group of processing areas in the first building footprint leg and the second group of processing areas in the second building footprint leg to generate a candidate building design for the building site; and rendering the candidate building design.

    Abstract: A design engine is configured to automatically generate designs for multi-family housing projects that simultaneously meet local construction regulations while also meeting specific financial targets. The design engine includes a design analyzer that generates design trends based on a database of historical designs. A feature extractor within the design analyzer performs a geometrical analysis of the historical designs to generate a library of features. A feature parameterizer within the design analyzer performs a parameterization process to generate one or more parametric values for each feature. A parameter correlator within the design analyzer compares different subsets of parametric values to identify relationships between those values. A trend aggregator identifies relationships that occur across multiple historical designs to determine a set of design trends. The design engine generates design options using the design trends. Design options generated in this manner include design features that historically promote both feasibility and desirability.

    Abstract: An urban design pipeline automatically generates design options for an urban design project. The urban design pipeline includes a geometry engine and an evaluation engine. The geometry engine analyzes design criteria, design objectives, and design heuristics associated with the urban design project and then generates numerous candidate designs. The design criteria specify a property boundary associated with a region of land to be developed. The design objectives indicate a specific type of topology that is derived from an existing urban layout. The design heuristics include different sets of construction rules for generating designs with specific types of topologies. The geometry engine generates candidate designs that conform to the property boundary and have topological characteristics in common with the existing urban layout.

    Abstract: An urban design pipeline automatically generates design options for an urban design project based on a financial model. The urban design pipeline includes a geometry engine that generates candidate designs to meet various design criteria and design objectives associated with the urban design project. The urban design pipeline also includes an evaluation engine that evaluates the candidate designs based on the financial model. The financial model quantifies the financial performance of any given candidate design. The urban design pipeline operates iteratively to improve the candidate designs until one or more convergence criteria are met, thereby generating a set of design options with acceptable financial performance.
