Abstract: Techniques and systems for computer aided design of physical structures using an object splitting design process that optimize manufacturing efficiency are described. A described technique includes splitting, by a computer program, a three dimensional model of an initial object into an up skin region and a down skin region based on an analysis of draft angles along at least one surface of the three dimensional model of the initial object. The technique further includes producing, by the computer program, first and second three dimensional models of respective first and second objects in accordance with the up skin region and the down skin region to create separate first and second physical structures using one or more computer-controlled manufacturing systems such that the first and second physical structures are combinable to form a combined physical structure.

Abstract: Techniques and systems for computer aided design of physical structures using an object splitting design process that optimize manufacturing efficiency are described. A described techniques includes obtaining an input model of an initial object to be manufactured, the input model providing a 3D topology and shape for the object; determining, based on the 3D topology and shape, a 3D parting surface to split the initial object into separate objects, the parting surface intersects an inflection zone that is situated between up and down skin regions of the 3D topology and shape; and providing first and second 3D models of the separate objects in accordance with the 3D topology and shape and the parting surface, for use in manufacturing separate physical structures corresponding to the separate objects using one or more computer-controlled manufacturing systems, where after respective manufacturing, the physical structures are configured to be assembled to form a combined structure.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining the impact of an asset on an enterprise architecture using a data model are disclosed. These systems and methods may determine the impact of a particular asset on the enterprise architecture represented by the data model, where determination of the impact of any particular asset takes into account not only assets that depend directly on that particular asset, but assets that depend indirectly on that asset as well. Using the data model of the enterprise architecture, dependency chains for one or more components of the data model can be discovered and a dependency map created. Using impact ratings associated with relationships between components in the dependency chains of a particular component, the impact of that particular component both on another individual component, and aggregately on an environment, can be determined. These systems and methods may also allow the determination of the risk of a particular component.
