A method for downhole cutting structure design. The method comprises executing a first computer-simulated drilling by at least one downhole cutting structure of a wellbore into a subsurface formation based on an original data set that includes at least one drilling parameter and at least one downhole cutting structure attribute associated with an actual drilling of the wellbore using the at least one downhole cutting structure into the subsurface formation. The method comprises recursively performing the following operations until a drilling performance threshold is satisfied, changing at least one of the at least one drilling parameter and the at least one downhole cutting structure attribute in the original data set to create a modified data set and executing a second computer-simulated drilling by the at least one downhole cutting structure of the wellbore into the subsurface formation based and the modified data set.
