Generative design in Fusion and its benefits.


00:11

Generative design technology and fusion

00:13

enables rapid design exploration by simultaneously

00:17

generating multiple solutions based on manufacturing

00:21

constraints and product performance requirements.

00:26

This design method starts by framing the

00:28

most essential geometric aspects of the problem.

00:31

Adding,

00:32

removing or modifying to create preserved geometries where geometry

00:37

must remain or obstacle areas to be avoided,

00:42

loads are applied to represent the rigors, the part must withstand.

00:46

And from there, multiple material options can be designated,

00:52

set the objectives whether that be to maximize

00:55

stiffness or achieve a certain factor of safety.

00:58

And at that point, you're just about ready to start generating results.

01:02

But before you do that,

01:03

we'll deviate from traditional design scope

01:06

to also include manufacturing constraints.

01:08

Will the part be milled? Do you have access to a five access machine or three or 2.5?

01:15

Could the part be produced on a water jet or plasma cutter?

01:18

What about die casting or do additive techniques provide the best value

01:22

in performance.

01:23

All of these options come with unique benefits. Challenges and costs

01:27

in traditional C AD teams often find

01:29

themselves investigating one concept at a time.

01:32

However,

01:33

generative design and fusion allows for simultaneous exploration of

01:37

multiple manufacturing ready designs tailored to specific engineering needs.

01:42

After generating,

01:43

explore the results with different tools and plots to compare each

01:47

outcome based on the properties that are most important to you.

01:50

The generated output is a seamless solid model that you can modify

01:54

and ultimately leverage all the tools

01:56

found throughout Fusion's other workspaces.

01:59

Fusion connects generative design and engineering with a fully integrated

02:02

manufacturing workspace for those generating machine code and producing parts.

02:07

This means you can start programming in the same environment and

02:10

can even get a head start while the design is finalized

02:13

because the process to update the tool paths is as simple as regenerating them.

02:19

Fusion integrates generative design technology

02:21

and accessible manufacturing options.

02:23

So you can bring optimized solutions into your business today.
