Info

Goal of this tutorial

  • Influencing the Complexity - experience the influence of this value

  • Reducing fixation point vs. Keep all Non-Design Spaces

  • Applying Event Specific Stress Constraints

  • Set up different optimisations to exploit the full potential of Generative Design

...

To apply the forces the Loads & Boundary Condition Tool is needed. By disabling the Thunderbolt (tool execution mode selector) on the top, both Faces of the Non-Design Spaces can be selected simultaneously. Select the cells Faces on the left side.

Three remote loads are created (Force - Moment 1, Force - Moment 2 and Force - Moment 3) on the shown surfaces with the given values in the tables.

Name

Force/Moment/Pressure/Gravity

Direction (depending on local coordinate system)

Value in N/Nmm

Force - Moment 1

Force on cellsfaces

z (proposed center is point of application)

-5000

...

Force - Moment 2 is applied on the other two surfaces. The point of application of this remote Force can set up by determing a point regarding the global coordinate system.

Name

Force/Moment/Pressure/Gravity

Direction (depending on local coordinate system)

Value in N/Nmm

Force - Moment 2

Force on cellsfaces

z (Point of Application [-100;0;-15])

-2000

...

Force - Moment 3 is applied on the same surfaces like the first Force. This new Load is reffering to the local coordinate system created earlier.

Name

Force/Moment/Pressure/Gravity

Direction (depending on local coordinate system)

Value in N/Nmm

Force - Moment 3

Force on cellsfaces

x (local coordinate system 1; proposed center is point of application)

7000

One Constraint which includes all six Non-Design Spaces is created:
