Abstract
An apparatus for generating a manufacturability analysis is disclosed. The apparatus includes at least a processor and a memory communicatively connected to the at least a processor. The memory contains instructions configuring the at least a processor to receive a computer model that is representative of a part for manufacture, wherein the computer model comprises a plurality of model based definitions. The memory instructs the processor to transmit the computer model to a graphics processing unit (GPU). The memory instructs the processor to generate a manufacturability analysis as a function of the plurality of the model based definitions, wherein the manufacturability analysis is generated using the GPU. The memory instructs the processor to generate an adjusted computer model as a function of the manufacturability analysis and the computer model.
