Integration of Design, Simulation and Interaction

a real-time numerical simulation into interactive geometric modeling.
In typical design application, numerical simulation methods are used
mainly as off-line verification tools to reject bad designs that fail
to satisfy the required constraints rather than to guide the user
toward a better design. We envision that real-time feedback from
numerical simulation during interactive editing can guide users toward
improving their design avoiding tedious trial-and-error iterations. We
apply this concept to clothing pattern design, general engineering
design and musical instrument design. In the clothing pattern design
project, I will show how the novel nonlinear augmented design
sensitivity analysis accelerate design and simulation integration
drastically, achieve scalability to detailed simulation model.
