Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for computer aided design with feature thickness control, include: a three-dimensional modeling program configured to provide voxelized thinning including preparing a voxelized sheet and line skeleton for a three-dimensional shape of a three-dimensional model, and/or ramped scaling based thickness constraint application during shape and/or topology generation including modifying an amount of change indicated by a current numerical assessment generated by numerical simulation. The three-dimensional modeling program can be an architecture, engineering and/or construction program (e.g., building information management program), a product design and/or manufacturing program (e.g., a CAM program), and/or a media and/or entertainment production program (e.g., an animation production program).
