Autodesk Research aims to develop an intelligent CAD system that supports goal-oriented design. Such a system would automatically generate potential design configurations based on user-described design goals. Two specific problems have been identified. First, Autodesk wishes to enable more natural interaction between designers and the CAD system. Therefore the system should support user-centered methods, such as natural-language input, to specify design goals, rather than require designers to follow formal specification schemes typical of traditional knowledge-based CAD systems. Another problem involves quickly narrowing the initial set of design configurations to those that are likely to be suitable. To address this problem, Autodesk would like to explore including biologically inspired structures that are known to provide functional advantages.

欧特克研究中心的目标是开发一个支持目标导向设计的智能CAD系统。这样的系统将根据用户描述的设计目标自动生成潜在的设计配置。已查明两个具体问题。首先，Autodesk希望在设计师和CAD系统之间实现更自然的交互。因此，该系统应该支持以用户为中心的方法，如自然语言输入，以指定设计目标，而不是要求设计人员遵循传统的基于知识的CAD系统的典型的正式规格方案。另一个问题涉及快速缩小设计配置的初始集合到那些可能是合适的。为了解决这个问题，Autodesk希望探索包括已知具有功能优势的生物启发结构。
