Abstract: An iterative design environment performs an iterative design process of a product by implementing usage feedback of the product when utilized under real-world conditions. Sensors are installed on the physical product and collect data about the behavior of the product under real-world conditions. The sensor data comprise usage feedback implemented to inform and produce a design problem statement and one or more design solutions. The sensor data is received by a problem statement engine to produce a problem statement based, at least in part, on the sensor data. A design engine then produces one or more design solutions for the problem statement and one of the design solutions is fabricated to produce a new physical product. Sensors are then installed onto the new physical product and the iterative design process may be performed again. The iterative design process may be performed multiple times until a satisfactory physical product is achieved.

Abstract: A design application allows an end-user to define an engineering problem, and then synthesizes a spectrum of design options that solve the engineering problem. The design application then generates various tools to allow the end-user to explore that spectrum of design options. The design application allows the end-user to compare various attributes of each design option, and to filter the spectrum of design options based on those attributes. In response to end-user selections of certain design options, the design application identifies other similar design options, and then displays these design options to the end-user.

Abstract: A design application generates a spectrum of design options that meet certain design criteria. Each design option may potentially be composed of a different type of material. The design application filters the spectrum of design options for presentation in a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI illustrates different design options based on material of composition within a parallel axis plot that includes separate axes for different material attributes. The GUI also displays envelopes of design options for each different material or material type, where each envelope has a different color, pattern, opacity, or other visual attribute. A GUI engine dynamically updates the GUI to reflect constraints and other design criteria applied to the spectrum of design options.

Abstract: A design application is configured to determine design problem geometry and design criteria associated with a design problem to be solved. Based on this information, the design application identifies one or more design approaches to creating a custom material having specific material attributes needed to solve the design problem. The design application then executes the design approaches to create material designs that reflect one or more custom materials. With these designs as input, a manufacturing machine may then construct physical instances of those custom materials. A given custom material may have a unique combination of material attributes potentially not found among existing materials. Additionally, a design fabricated from a custom material may better satisfy the design criteria than a design fabricated from a known material.
