CAD Design Velocity describes how the shape of a CAD object changes when some design parameters are modified. This information can be used in shape optimization. The objective of the master’s thesis is the development of a plugin to a CAD software that is able to calculate the design velocity of a surface. Once the design velocity can be calculated, the plugin can be integrated into the chair’s shape optimization workflow. Shape optimization with CAD parameters as variables, using the efficiency of Adjoint Sensitivity Analysis will be possible.     «
