Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for computer aided design of physical structures using generative design processes, where the three dimensional (3D) models of the physical structures are produced in accordance with a design criterion that limits a minimum thickness of the generatively designed 3D models, include: obtaining a design space for an object to be manufactured and one or more design criteria including a thickness constraint; iteratively modifying a generatively designed 3D shape of the modeled object in the design space in accordance with the one or more design criteria, including measuring a current thickness for the 3D shape using an overall relationship of a volume of the 3D shape with respect to a surface area of the 3D shape; and providing the generatively designed model for use in manufacturing the physical structure using one or more computer-controlled manufacturing systems.
