This technology is software that employs interpolation algorithms to redefine the workflow of computer-aided designs (CADs), allowing for the real-time manipulation and automatic optimization of complex objects.
Currently, CAD systems allow for many independent parameters, but are typically constrained for structure preserving considerations, the need to interface with other parts, and manufacturing limitations. As such, it is up to an expert engineer to manually tune parameters by selecting a small set of parameter configurations to evaluate instead of using real-time optimization. Therefore, in the case of a complex shape, the operations that need to be performed are computationally expensive and can take a considerable amount of time. There are currently no available methods for CAD systems that incorporate real-time optimization.
This technology utilizes precomputation for real-time approximation of the geometry and physical properties to allow for real-time CAD system optimization. After an engineer designs a shape with a set of specified parameters, it can be sent to a cloud platform for multiple geometric evaluations and simulations can be run at the same time. Incorporating this precomputed data, users can instantly optimize the performance of the design. Therefore, this technology offers an improved and efficient approach that can be used for interactive exploration and automatic optimization of CADs.
This technology is a functional software.
