Generative Design

Generative Design (shape generator) is currently one of the most popular and fastest-growing trends in CAD design. It consists in optimizing the shapes of the element while maintaining its strength. This allows you to “slim down” the part and reduce the amount of material used. The visual attractiveness of the generated elements is a big advantage that contributes to the growing popularity of the generative design. The generator can be used in the early stages of concept design.

Generative design computational engines are based on the finite element method with the addition of advanced optimization algorithms (artificial intelligence is also increasingly used). The generative design module is available in Autodesk Inventor and Fusion 360.

Generative Design in Autodesk Inventor provides a strategy to maximize part stiffness based on the provided bindings. This allows you to quickly optimize the external appearance of the part while reducing weight in such a way that the required strength of the element is maintained.

Below we present you with a new approach to design using optimization.

MASS REDUCTION

The solution allows us to reduce the weight of the element in such a way that the required strength of the element is maintained. Thanks to this, the element is lighter, and at the same time, the amount of material needed for its production is reduced.

RESILIENCE

Possibility of applying loads and creating bindings reflecting the real working conditions of the element.

STIFFNESS

During optimization, the required stiffness of the element is maintained, so we do not have to worry that the changes made will affect the strength properties of the element.

MAKING CHANGES

After the analysis, the program generates a new shape in the form of a 3D mesh that can be easily used as a reference in the design environment.
