1. A method comprising:
receiving manufacturing criteria for a product part;
sorting the manufacturing criteria into different classes of one or both objective functions and constraints based on when they can be satisfied or optimized;
determining constraint violations; and
producing a design workflow to generate one or more designs of a part to comply with one or more of satisfying constraints and optimizing objective functions, the design workflow invoking a combination of solvers including forward problem solvers and inverse problem solvers.
