Abstract: A computer-implemented method of automatically determining an optimized design for manufacturing a real-world object includes: defining, in memory of a computer-based processor, a finite element model representing a real-world object, the finite element comprising a plurality of elements; evaluating, with the computer-based processor, a distribution of a design variable throughout a vicinity of the finite element model, using singular value decomposition (SVD), to produce a singular value for the design variable in each respective element in the vicinity of the finite element model; defining optimization constraints for the vicinity of the finite element model based on the singular values produced from the SVD; and optimizing the finite element model with respect to the design variable by locally enforcing a geometry of the real-world object in the vicinity based on the defined optimization constraints.

Abstract: Embodiments automatically determine optimized designs for manufacturing real-world objects. An embodiment begins with defining a finite element model comprised of a plurality of elements that represents a real-world object. Next, equilibriums and design responses of the object in response boundary conditions are determined, which includes calculating a local volume constraint for a given element of the finite element model. Then, design response sensitivities of the object in response to the boundary conditions are determined, which includes differentiating the calculated local volume constraint to determine sensitivity of a sizing design variable. In turn, the model is iteratively optimized with respect to the sizing design variable using the determined equilibriums and the determined design responses, including the calculated local volume constraint, and the determined design response sensitivities, including the determined sensitivity of the sizing design variable to determine an optimized value of the sizing design variable.
