Abstract: A design analysis engine analyzes a CAD assembly to generate a topological model. The topological model is a graph of nodes coupled together via a set of edges. Each node represents a different CAD model in the CAD assembly and each edge represents a different connection between two such CAD models. The design analysis engine also analyzes the CAD assembly to generate a data model corresponding to the topological model. The data model is a structured dataset that includes component entries and connection entries. A component entry includes design data associated with a CAD model in the CAD assembly and a connection entry includes design data associated with a physical or logical connection between two or more such CAD models. A user interacts with the topological model to navigate the CAD assembly, obtain CAD model data, and initiate automatically-performed design tasks.

Abstract: Various embodiments set forth systems and techniques for determining expandability of a budding design. The techniques include receiving a building geometry indicating a size of a building and a shape of the building; receiving building placement data indicating a placement of the building within a site; identifying one or more remaining spaces within the site based at least on the size of the building, the shape of the building, and the placement of the building within the site; for each remaining space of the one or more remaining spaces: determining whether the remaining space is a usable space; based on the determining whether the remaining space is a usable space, generating a space expansion value corresponding to the remaining space; and computing, based on space expansion values corresponding to the one or more remaining spaces, one or more aggregate expansion values associated with the building geometry and the building placement.

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: An urban design pipeline is configured to automatically generate design options that meet competing design objectives. A geometry engine within the urban design pipeline generates candidate designs for an urban design project. An evaluation engine within the urban design pipeline evaluates the degree to which each candidate design addresses the competing design objectives to produce a set of design metrics. A tradeoff engine within the urban design pipeline generates a design tradeoff space based on the candidate designs and corresponding design metrics. The tradeoff engine traverses the design tradeoff space based on performance modifications to adjust the degree to which the competing design objectives are addressed. The performance modifications can be obtained from any number of stakeholders in the urban design project. In this manner, the urban design pipeline generates and/or modifies candidate designs to generate design options that balance competing design objectives that potentially originate from multiple stakeholders.

Abstract: A design application is configured to generate a latent space representation of a fleet of pre-existing vehicles. The design application encodes vehicle designs associated with the fleet of pre-existing vehicles into the latent space representation to generate a first latent space location. The first latent space location represents the characteristic style associated with the fleet of pre-existing vehicles. The design application encodes a sample design provided by a user into the latent space representation to produce a second latent space location. The design application then determines a distance between the first latent space location and the second latent space location. Based on the distance, the design application generates a style metric that indicates the aesthetic similarity between the sample design and the vehicle designs associated with the fleet of pre-existing vehicles. The design application can also generate new vehicle designs based on the latent space representation and the sample design.

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 and design objectives associated with the urban design project and then generates numerous candidate designs that meet the design criteria and optimize the design objectives to varying degrees. The evaluation engine evaluates each candidate design to generate a set of metrics. The geometry engine modifies the candidate designs based on corresponding metrics to generate candidate designs that better meet the design criteria and more effectively achieve the design objectives.

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.
