The appearing text field can be used by adding Advanced User Comands to the current Generative Design scenario.

Influencing the Strut Density
To influence the Strut Density even further, changes of the number of iterations, stress goal percentage and number of resolution levels can be made. These settings overwrite the selection of the Strut Density and the Shape Quality as they are only default settings for the ones described here. The table gives an overview of default settings:
...
To set up these additional parameters, the left side of the table needs to be added to the optimization model in the Advanced User Settings Text Field. In the picture below an example is shown. By adding this Advanced User Settings, the first (coarse) resolution level will be skipped.
...
Symmetry
With the advanced user settings a symmetrical optimization can be done. Therefore the geometry as well as the boundary conditions need to be symmetrical. For now the part must be located in the global coordinate origin.
...
Hint: Only a half, a quarter or an eighth of the model will be calculated. Thus only a half, a quarter or an eighth of the calculating resources are needed.
Intersection
Intersections between optimization results and the Design spaces are needed to create the final, manufacturable design. This ensures all functional sharp edges are available and the generative designed part is inside the boundary limits.
...
The intersected STL-files will be saved inside the project folder for every intersection in the workspace.
Start Space (Restart)
With the Advanced User Settings a Start Space can be choosen with which the optimization will start. This can be used to restart an optimization or for a two-stage optimization.
