Model generation in CAD

An optimization always starts with a Design that is either an already existing model that needs modification or a new design. The optimization needs a design space and nondesign spaces, which experience the boundary conditions. Further information here.

To seperate and create these different geometries the following steps are necessary:

1. Geometry model for the optimization problem:
   
2. Creating seperate solids for the nondesign spaces:
   
   1. A separate solid must be created for each boundary condition because the boundary conditions always effect the whole volume it is referring to.
   2. The solids must be named individually.
      
3. Create Assembly:
   
   1. Command SW: Save body.
   2. Select all bodies.
   3. Select continue visual properties.
   4. Create Assembly: Browse.
   5. Save to the suitable folder.
   6. Check the box to confirm.Choose "Ja"
   7. Rebuild and save document.
4. Transformation into stl files: Open assembly and save as stl
