Generative design
Learn to use generative design to create structurally ideal parts using Fusion.
Module overview
Learn what generative design is and how to set it up, run and work with outcomes. Generative design allows you to define a problem, geometry to keep and avoid, and even various materials and manufacturing methods, and it will iterate the solution and present the results for review.
