  • Optimisation of the design of a component
    Patent number: 7751917
    Abstract: A method of optimising the design of a component is provided, in which a set of principal design variants is generated, the variants having design parameters which are common to all design variants of the set and some which differ between variants. Subsets of secondary design variants are generated by a computer executed rule based geometry engine, the subsets comprising at least one secondary design variant, generated by modifying at least one design parameter or design variable of the principal design variant.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 23, 2006
    Date of Patent: July 6, 2010
    Assignees: BAE Systems plc, Rolls-Royce plc
    Inventors: Janet Rees, Stephen M Bagnall, Wenbin Song

  • Optimisation of the design of a component
    Publication number: 20030204823
    Abstract: A method of optimising a design of a component is described. The method comprises the steps of: representing a base design as a CAD model comprising a plurality of geometric entities, assigning a tag name to each geometric entity, transferring the design into an analysis code and determining an optimum design from the analysis code.
