Pre-check of generative setup status

Pre-check enables you to validate that the setup of the active generative study meets the requirements to generate outcomes.

The Generate toolbar command graphically indicates the study status without running the Pre-check.

The icon changes color according to the study status.

• Error. When you see an exclamation mark on a red background, you can't generate outcomes because the study setup doesn't meet some requirements. For example, there is less than two preserve geometries or material is missing. Review the error log and modify the setup so that it satisfies the requirements.
• Warning. When you see an exclamation mark on a yellow background, you can generate outcomes, but there are potential issues with the study. This state may be pointing out that the setup is not common. If the pre-check is showing the warning, the best practice is to review your inputs before generating. You see the warning state, for example when:
  • A preserve, obstacle, or starting shape body is missing, but the study includes at least two preserve geometries.
  • A load or constraint has a missing reference. It happens if the geometry to which it was applied is lost or modified in such a way that the face or edge doesn't exist.
• Ready. When you see a check mark on a green background, the study setup meets the requirements and you can generate outcomes.
