Some of the steps have to be repeated in order to generate the Design Space that goes into the optimisation.
From this workflow 2 geometry tools were identified which shorten the preparation time and help create a Design Space fast faster and with all necessary void spaces for the placement in the overall assembly:
The Access Region Tool is responsible for creating placeholders for void spaces which are necessary for installation and maintenance reasons.
The Clearance Region Tool is responsible for creating void spaces fitting to parts that won’t be considered in the optimisation, the Excluded PartsThe Clearance Region Tool…around parts which are part of the assembly but are not part of the optimisation model.
Together with the Access Region Tool it’s made sure that all parts of the assembly have the space they need in order to fit into the assembly.
