  • CONVERSION OF MESH GEOMETRY TO EDITABLE AND WATERTIGHT BOUNDARY REPRESENTATION IN COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN
    Publication number: 20240168460
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for computer aided design of physical structures include, in at least one aspect, a fully automatic method of converting a generative design into an editable, watertight B-Rep by leveraging the generative solver input and representation to: (1) embed the exact input solid boundary surfaces where the design coincides with the input, (2) approximate everywhere else the design boundary with globally smooth, editable “organic” surfaces, and (3) join all surfaces to form a generative design output B-Rep.
    Type: Application
    Filed: December 12, 2023
    Publication date: May 23, 2024
    Inventors: Martin Cvetanov Marinov, Peter Hugh Charrot, Suguru Furuta, Nandakumar Santhanam, Justin Nicholas Hallet, Stephen Alan Barley, Jean Alison Flower, Gordon Thomas Finnigan, Siavash Navadeh Meshkat, Iain Edward Henley, Tristan Ward Barback, Maciej Sapun, Marco Amagliani, Pawel Wolski
