Computational Design Automation

Daniel Tortorelli

Executive Summary

We are developing an automated design optimization system for use in additive manufacturing. This system will include complex, multiphysics simulations to predict material properties, replacing trial-and-error methods with a framework that allows for fast, reliable designs that have been optimized for multiple properties in order to support stockpile stewardship and other national security missions.
