Nondesign spaces have to be selected using the Optimization Tools. In this case the three screw holes are beeing being used and a Nondesign space with an offset of 2 mm is created for each.
...
All boundary conditions must be assigned to the specific load cases, which are defined as Events. The number of Events can be changed by adding/deleting Events to the Meshless Generative Design Scenario. The assignment of the boundarie boundary conditions to the Events can be made in the Loads & Constrains Window. The already created loads and constraints that concern the Design space are listed in this window and can be activated for each Event individually.
...
All result iterations are displayed as soon as they are available. Furtheremore Furthermore you are able to stop the optimization in this selection area. However, a restart is not directly possible.
The optimization is finished after 64 iterations (Shape Quality: Balanced (Calculation type: OptimzingOptimizing)).

Generative Design
You can always change the Strut Density (Design Type), Maximum Stress and Complexity (SolverMaxMemory) to influence the results and try out different options
The Complexity (SolverMaxMemory) can be increased for a higher resolution (increased calculation time!)
...
The Strut Density (Design Type) influences the strucures structures which are formed during optimization
...
The legend can be influenced in different ways. You can add and reduce the stress/displacement steps, enlargen enlarge different steps and set new minimum and maximum values.
