Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system provide the ability to design a convective cooling channel in a computer. Input data is acquired and includes a geometry of an object to be cooled, a design objective, and boundary conditions. Channel designs corresponding to the input data are generated using an iterative topology optimization. One of the channel designs is selected and output.

Abstract: A three-dimensional computer model of a cooling mold for a part and a specification of an initial layout of one or more cooling channels integrated into the cooling mold is obtained. Data regarding temperatures of a cavity surface of the cooling mold in contact with the part is produced. Individual portions of the one or more cooling channels are moved toward hotter portions of the cavity surface, without moving any branch junctions of the one or more cooling channels and while keeping one or more diameters of the one or more cooling channels constant.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for computer aided design of physical structures, which can be built using various manufacturing systems and techniques, include, in one aspect, a method including: obtaining a design space for a modeled object, design criteria, an in-use load case, one or more materials specifications, and one or more safety factors; producing at least one generatively designed 3D topology of the modeled object, including, starting from an initial design, generating a first design in accordance with a first target defined by a first of the specifications or of the safety factors, and starting from the first design or an intermediate design generated between the initial design and the first design, generating a second design in accordance with a second target defined by a second of the specifications or of the safety factors; and providing both the first design and the second design.
