    Abstract: A design engine for designing an object using structural analysis. The design engine generates a lattice structure for the object comprising a plurality of nodes and a plurality of lines connecting the nodes. The lattice structure is optimized to remove one or more lines using structural analysis based on at least one load-related design requirement. Several design options are provided for generating and optimizing the lattice structure. The design engine then generates a 3D model of the object by thickening each line of the lattice structure into a pipe volume. The thickness of each pipe is determined using structural analysis based on the at least one load-related design requirement. The 3D model represents the volume of the object and is exportable to a fabrication device.

    Abstract: A workflow engine processes a work problem to generate solutions for the work problem comprising a plurality of related optimization problems. The work problem may comprise a second optimization problem that is dependent on a first optimization problem, such that at least one solution for the first optimization problem is to be utilized as an initial solution for the second optimization problem. The workflow engine generates and stores a branch object for each optimization problem, each branch object specifying a solver engine assigned for processing the optimization problem and dependency information indicating a dependency relationship between the optimization problem and another optimization problem. The workflow engine processes the work problem based on the branch objects by initiating each solver engine to perform optimization operations on the assigned optimization problem based on the corresponding branch object to generate one or more solutions for the assigned optimization problem.

    Abstract: A method and system provide the ability to build a game world. A story is obtained that provides a textual narrative of a sequence of events. Plot facilities and a set of constraints are extracted from the story. Each of the plot facilities is a conceptual location where an event happens in the story. Each constraint defines a spatial relation between plot facilities. A map is generated based on the set of constraints by: generating a terrain of two dimensional (2D) polygons that is each associated with a biome type, and assigning each plot facility to a point on the terrain. The assigning complies with a maximum number of constraints and utilizes reinforcement learning (RL) to optimize positions of the points.

    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.
