AI Technical Summary
When modeling complex patterned objects in CAD systems, existing technologies suffer from high computational load and low efficiency. In particular, for objects containing a large number of core geometric instances, the computational load of copying the geometry and connecting each individual instance with its neighboring instances is extremely large.
A computer-implemented method is provided to generate a layout comprising multiple instances by accessing a model in a CAD system, identifying and implementing a set of modifications to enable seamless connection between the multiple instances, thereby generating a modified model. The method includes generating a minimum pattern, identifying and implementing modeling operations such as Boolean operations and vertex imprinting to ensure seamless connection of the model.
It achieves efficient generation of complex patterned objects, reduces computation, improves the efficiency and accuracy of model connections, and can generate large-scale patterned objects.
