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.
