Zusammenfassung:Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for computer aided design of physical structures using generative design processes. A method includes obtaining one or more load cases and one or more design criteria for a modeled object; iteratively modifying a three dimensional shape of the modeled object in accordance with the one or more design criteria and the one or more load cases, the iteratively modifying comprising regulating shape change velocities for an implicit surface representation of the three dimensional shape that exceed a reference velocity, where the reference velocity is set based on a mean and a standard deviation of a shape derivative on the implicit surface; and providing the three dimensional shape of the modeled object for use in manufacturing a physical structure corresponding to the modeled object using one or more computer-controlled manufacturing systems.
