A method, apparatus, and system provide the ability to design a convective cooling channel in a computer. Input data is acquired and includes a geometry of an object to be cooled, a design objective, and boundary conditions. Channel designs corresponding to the input data are generated using an iterative topology optimization. One of the channel designs is selected and output.

Designing convective cooling channels

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for computer aided design of physical structures, which can be built using various manufacturing systems and techniques, include, in one aspect, a method including: obtaining a design space for a modeled object, design criteria, an in-use load case, one or more materials specifications, and one or more safety factors; producing at least one generatively designed 3D topology of the modeled object, including, starting from an initial design, generating a first design in accordance with a first target defined by a first of the specifications or of the safety factors, and starting from the first design or an intermediate design generated between the initial design and the first design, generating a second design in accordance with a second target defined by a second of the specifications or of the safety factors; and providing both the first design and the second design.

Topology optimization of structure with multiple targets

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for interactively simulating an injection mold model. A three-dimensional CAD model is identified representing an injection mold cavity. The mold cavity includes a location of at least one gate. A potential fill pattern is determined for injection of a material into the injection mold cavity. The determined fill pattern is based at least in part on the geometry and dimensions of the modeled mold cavity and the location of the at least one gate. A strip model of the CAD model is generated based at least in part on the determined fill pattern. The strip model is used to perform a strip analysis simulating injection of the material within the injection mold cavity.
