Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for computer aided design of physical structures using generative design processes include: obtaining one or more design criteria, a model of an object for which a physical structure is to be manufactured, and a set of eigenmodes from a modal analysis of the model of the object; extracting a proper subset of non-zero eigenmodes from the set of eigenmodes, wherein the proper subset of non-zero eigenmodes include at least three lowest valued, non-zero eigenmodes; combining data of the proper subset of non-zero eigenmodes to form a strain energy field for the model of the object; iteratively modifying a generatively designed shape of the model of the object using the strain energy field to drive changes to the generatively designed shape of the model; and providing the generatively designed shape of the model of the object.
