Abstract
A method of classifying design criteria includes receiving design criteria for a product part. The criteria comprise one or both of performance and manufacturing criteria. The design criteria are sorted into different classes of one or both of one or more objective functions and one or more constraints based on when they can be satisfied or optimized. Constraint violations are determined. A design workflow is produced to generate one or more designs of a part to comply with one or more of satisfying constraints and optimizing objective functions.

A method comprising:
- receiving manufacturing criteria for a product part;
- sorting the manufacturing criteria into different classes of one or both objective functions and constraints based on when they can be satisfied or optimized;
- determining constraint violations;
- and
- producing a design workflow to generate one or more designs of a part to comply with one or more of satisfying constraints and optimizing objective functions, the design workflow invoking a combination of solvers including forward problem solvers and inverse problem solvers.
