Method for Parametrized Multi-compartment Housing Model Creation

A method for configuring a housing for an assembly to be manufactured via a simulation of the assembly and housing in a computer assisted drafting (CAD) environment, the assembly comprising a plurality of housed components, and the housing comprising a plurality of compartments configured to house the plurality of housed components and at least one opening between two neighboring compartments, comprising the steps of:

• receiving a plurality of parameters defining respective aspects of the assembly and the housing;
• based on the plurality of parameters:
• creating a plurality of bounding volumes, each bounding volume corresponding to one of the plurality of compartments;
• and
• defining a bridging between a first compartment and a second compartment of the plurality of compartments;
• calculating a base shell volume of the housing using Boolean operations on the bounding volumes;
• calculating a topological volume from the base shell volume;
• and
• determining a housing assembly model based on the topological volume.
