Fusion 360: Generative Design

Work smarter in Fusion 360 by working with the software's generative design tools. Learn to create a generative study for a model, generate solutions, and assess the results.

Introduction

• Generative Design: The evolution of computer aided design
• What you should know

1. Why Generative Design?

• Generative design vs. shape optimization
• Cost and options

2. Preparing a Study

• Starting a new generative study
• Creating interface geometry
• Selecting the geometry to preserve
• Editing a model and creating geometry in the study
• Defining obstacles
• Setting the design conditions
• Defining the design criteria
• Setting the materials for the study
• Start generating a solution

3. Reviewing the Results

• Use filters to review outcome options
• Compare the best outcomes
• Export the results
• Modify the exported outcome
• Examine new design using FEA

4. Advanced Workflows

• Clone an existing study
• Using a starter shape
