    Abstract: A centralized design engine receives a problem specification from an end-user and classifies that problem specification in a large database of previously received problem specifications. Upon identifying similar problem specifications in the large database, the design engine selects design strategies associated with those similar problem specifications. A given design strategy includes one or more optimization algorithms, one or more geometry kernels, and one or more analysis tools. The design engine executes an optimization algorithm to generate a set of parameters that reflect geometry. The design engine then executes a geometry kernel to generate geometry that reflects those parameters, and generates analysis results for each geometry. The optimization algorithms may then improve the generated geometries based on the analysis results in an iterative fashion. When suitable geometries are discovered, the design engine displays the geometries to the end-user, along with the analysis results.

    Abstract: A design application receives an exemplary design from an end-user having one or more functional attributes relevant to solving a design problem. The design application then generates a set of labels that describes the functional attributes of the exemplary design. Based on the set of labels, the design application explores a functional space to retrieve one or more system classes having functionally descriptive labels that are similar to the set of labels generated for the exemplary design. The one or more system classes include different approaches to solving the design problem, and represent systems having at least some functional attributes in common with the exemplary design.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, facilitate creation and use of multi-material three dimensional models. In one aspect, a system includes one or more computer storage media having instructions stored thereon; and one or more data processing apparatus configured to execute the instructions to perform operations including (i) receiving input specifying different material properties of an object to be manufactured, (ii) generating from the input a three dimensional (3D) model of the object using overlapping volume representations of the different material properties of the object, wherein the overlapping volume representations employ different data formats and different resolutions, and (iii) storing the 3D model of the object for use in manufacturing the object.

    Abstract: A simulation application receives simulation parameters associated with a simulation to be generated. The simulation parameters include geometry associated with the simulation and corresponding boundary conditions. The simulation engine processes the simulation parameters and then, using a neural network, generates a solution estimate. Based on the estimated solution, the simulation engine then executes a finite element analysis solver using the solution estimate as a starting point. The FEA solver iterates until a converged solution is reached. The converged solution is then provided to the end-user.

    Abstract: A design application is configured to perform a system-level optimization of a collection of system components. The design application iteratively executes a multi-objective solver to optimize structural and functional relationships between the system components in order to meet global design criteria and generate a system design. The design application initializes the design process by extracting from a knowledge base system templates having taxonomic, structural, or functional attributes relevant to the system design. The design application generates the knowledge base by mining taxonomic, structural, and functional relationships from a corpus of engineering texts.

    Abstract: A design engine generates a configuration option that includes a specific arrangement of interconnected mechanical elements adhering to one or more design constraints. Each element within a given configuration option is defined by a set of design variables. The design engine implements a parametric optimizer to optimize the set of design variables associated with each configuration option. For a given configuration option, the parametric optimizer discretizes continuous equations governing the physical dynamics of the configuration. The parametric optimizer then determines the gradient of an objective function based on the discretized equations the gradient of objective and constraint functions based on discrete direct differentiation method or discrete adjoint variable method derived directly from the discretized motion equations. Then, the parametric optimizer traverses a design space where the configuration option resides to reduce improve the objective function, thereby optimizing the design variables.
