Abstract
The present invention is directed to systems and methods for automatically generating mechanical part designs and manufacturing specifications/instructions that account for geometric distortions that may occur during manufacturing or post-processing.
Claims8
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium for use on a computer system containing computer-executable programming instructions for performing a distortion simulation, the method comprising:
- receiving a model of a part used in at least one of additive manufacturing or metal injection molding manufacturing;
- generating a cell mesh using the received model of the part;
- performing a simulation on the cell mesh undergoing one or more mechanical processes, the simulation including an input parameter representing at least one of a mechanical property of the part, a coefficient associated with the one or more mechanical processes, or a combination thereof;
- and
- generating, based on the simulation, a distorted cell mesh.
