ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 31 -- United States Patent no. 12,511,447, issued on Dec. 30, was assigned to ANSYS INC. (Canonsburg, Pa.).

"Methods and systems for performing shape optimization using physics informed basis function" was invented by Willem Jacobus Roux (Livermore, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A model representing a physical object in a shape optimization according to a design objective, and a control point for altering a shape of the physical object are received. The shape is defined by a set of nodes in the model. Sibling models are generated from the model according to a perturbation scheme. The control point is perturbed with respective perturbed values for the sibling mode...
