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

...

Under Displacement Constraints a “clamped” constraint can be chosen, which locks translations in all three directions. On the left side of the Tool the relevant geometry choice can be selected. In this case cells the inner surfaces of the Non-Design Spaces are selected to attach the constraints on the Non-Design Spaces.

Adding Advanced User Settings

If on all functional surfaces a Machining Allowance is applied, with the Advances User Settings the automatic growth of Non-Design Spaces can be deactivated. The automatic growth of Nondesign-Spaces is activated as the default in case that no Machining Allowances are applied. The autmotic groth of Nondesign-Spaces can sometimes lead to some issues. More information here.

Generative Design

You can always change the Strut Density, Stress Goal and Complexity to influence the results and try out different options.
