Engineering with constraints

Keep useful designs within fixed requirements.

  1. Propose a design
  2. Check requirements
  3. Rank valid options
Illustration of the proposed workflow.

A design team could prefer a particular shape while needing it to fit a fixed space. The tool would show only candidates that satisfy the stated requirements.

Where the small model fits

A preference scorer handles subjective choices. An independent constraint check handles feasibility. The generator or optimizer proposes new candidates without treating a high preference score as permission to break a requirement.

What would need to work

Compare valid solutions found at equal evaluation budgets. The lab has numerical toy checks; it has not demonstrated engineering performance on manufactured products.
