Abstract: Embodiments provide methods and systems for optimizing a physical system. One such example embodiment begins by defining, in memory of a processor, a model comprising a plurality of design variables where the defined model represents a real-world physical system where behavior of the model is given by an equation that includes corresponding sensitivity equations for the plurality of design variables. The example method continues by iteratively optimizing the model with respect to a given design variable of the plurality, using the equation. In an example embodiment, the optimizing includes the processor accounting for a given external intervention event between equilibriums by adding a term for design response sensitivity of the given one of the plurality of design variables to the corresponding sensitivity equation of the given design variable. Such optimizing results in an improved optimization of the real-world physical model.

Abstract: CAD modeling method, system, and apparatus provide an on-demand mate controller for controlling settings of mating relationships in a CAD model. The names of mates of a CAD model assembly are auto-populated into an ordered list in the mate controller. The mate controller enables user interactive re-ordering of the listed names. With the mate controller, a user may temporarily unlock a mate, visually position assembly components, and relock the mate resulting in refined mate settings and degrees of freedom of assembly components. The mate controller enables a user to interactively change order of positions of the model assembly which in turn affects order of position changes in motion studies of the model assembly. The mate controller saves per position data of the model assembly including mate values and component degrees of freedom. The saved per position data can be readily used to create animations.
