Abstract

Provided is a method for determining a physical shape having a predefined physical target property that includes calculating a sensitivity landscape on the basis of a shape data record for the physical shape with the aid of a calculation device. The calculation device is a machine-taught artificial intelligence device. The shape data record identifies locations at or on the physical shape. For a plurality of these locations, the sensitivity landscape respectively indicates how the target property of the physical shape changes if the physical shape changes in the region of the location. Furthermore, the shape data record for the physical shape to be determined is changed on the basis of the sensitivity landscape in such a manner that the predefined physical target property is improved.
