Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for computer aided design of physical structures include, in at least one aspect, a fully automatic method of converting a generative design into an editable, watertight B-Rep by leveraging the generative solver input and representation to: (1) embed the exact input solid boundary surfaces where the design coincides with the input, (2) approximate everywhere else the design boundary with globally smooth, editable 'organic' surfaces, and (3) join all surfaces to form a generative design output B-Rep.
