ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and methods of creating sketch-based eggcrate substructures for manufacturing composite parts are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of creating a design includes providing an input model from a plurality of inputs, including providing a layout geometry, and providing a specification data structure. A resolution model of the input model is created, including interpolating the layout geometry, and interpolating the specification data structure. The method further includes finalizing a layout using the resolution model, and providing one or more solid components into the finalized resolution model to create the design. Embodiments of the invention enable rapid configuration of designs either interactively, non-interactively, or through combinations of both, and may reduce the time, labor, and expense associated with the development of such designs.
