DETAILED DESIGN SYSTEM FOR LATTICE STRUCTURES

摘要

Methods and systems are disclosed for a computer aided design (CAD) system that creates and analyzes program-based representations of complex lattice structures based on structured requirements and manufacturing constraints. The CAD system can include a program synthesis module configured to receive data that defines one or more requirements of a component. Based on the data, the program synthesis module can generate a virtual lattice structure as a set of descriptive codes including an initial kernel, a starting point in space, and a series of transformations for a repetitive reproduction of the initial kernel into the virtual lattice structure. In various examples, the CAD system includes virtual test beds configured to obtain manufacturing constraints related to the component. Based on the manufacturing constraints, the virtual test beds can test the virtual lattice structure to determine whether the component can be produced in accordance with the manufacturing constraints.
