My Learning - Generative workspace

Here are the My Learning campaigns for the Generative workspace.

Generative Design > Define > Check Model > Incomplete

Model Check

Edit Model icon

Use at least one solid body as a preserve geometry in your model. You can create bodies for Generative Design in the Edit Model contextual environment.

Model Check

Edit Model icon

Your model has at least one solid body to be used as a preserve geometry. You are ready for the next step.

Generative Design > Define > Edit Model > Ready and Optional

Edit Model (optional)

Edit Model icon

Use the Edit Model contextual environment to prepare your geometry. Remove components and bodies that don't need to participate in the design. Create or simplify the bodies that you will use as obstacle geometries.

Generative Design > Define > Preserves > Not Ready

Preserves (not ready)

It looks like a previous step is still incomplete. Complete the previous steps first.

Generative Design > Define > Preserves > Incomplete

Preserves (not ready)

Preserve Geometry icon

A preserve geometry acts as a connection between the design and objects it will attach to. You will apply loads and constraints to the preserve geometry. Select at least one solid body as a preserve geometry.

Generative Design > Define > Preserves > Ready and Complete one

Preserves

Preserve Geometry icon

A preserve geometry acts as a connection between the design and objects it will attach to. You will apply loads and constraints to the preserve geometry. Your model has at least one preserve geometry. You are ready for the next step.

Generative Design > Define > Preserves > Ready and Complete two

Preserves

Preserve Geometry icon

A preserve geometry acts as a connection between the design and objects it will attach to. You will apply loads and constraints to the preserve geometry. Your model has at least one preserve geometry. You are ready for the next step.

Generative Design > Define > Obstacles > Not Ready

Obstacles (not ready)

It looks like a previous step is still incomplete. Complete the previous steps first.

Generative Design > Define > Obstacles > Ready and Optional

Obstacles (optional)

Obstacle Geometry icon

An obstacle geometry represents volume that you want to avoid in the design. You have not selected any solid bodies as obstacle geometry. This is OK, you can generate without it. If there is any volume you want to avoid in the design, create a representative solid body and assign the obstacle geometry to it.

Obstacles

Obstacle Geometry icon

An obstacle geometry represents volume that you want to avoid in the design. You have selected at least one obstacle geometry. You are ready for the next step.

Generative Design > Define > Starting Shape > Not Ready

Starting Shape (not ready)

It looks like a previous step is still incomplete. Complete the previous steps first.

Generative Design > Define > Starting Shape > Ready and Optional

Starting Shape (optional)

Starting Shape icon

Use a starting shape to optimize an existing design or influence the final shape of the design. The starting shape is optional. If you don't use it, you will get more variation in outcomes. The starting shape must be in contact with all preserve geometries.

Generative Design > Define > Starting Shape > Ready and Incomplete

Starting Shape

Starting Shape icon

A starting shape must be in contact with all preserve geometries. You can deselect the starting shape. Or, use the Edit Model workspace to modify the starting shape body and/or preserve geometries so that they are in contact.

Starting Shape

Starting Shape icon

Use a starting shape to optimize an existing design or influence the final shape of the design. You have defined the starting shape. You are ready for the next step.

Generative Design > Define > Constraints > Not Ready

Constraints (not ready)

It looks like a previous step is still incomplete. Complete the previous steps first.

Generative Design > Define > Constraints > Ready and Incomplete

Constraints

Structural Constraints icon

Use constraints to define how the design interacts with the objects not included in the model. For example, if you attach the design to an object that does not move, apply a Fixed Constraint at that location. Apply at least one constraint.

Generative Design > Define > Constraints > Ready with warning

Constraints (warning)

Structural Constraints icon

It looks like you have applied the constraint and load to the same entity. You can't apply constraints and loads to the same face, edge, or vertex. They will be counteracting each other. Apply constraint or load to a different entity.

Generative Design > Define > Constraints > Ready with complete

Constraints

Structural Constraints icon

Use constraints to define how the design interacts with the objects not included in the model. For example, if you attach the design to an object that does not move, apply a Fixed Constraint at that location. You have applied at least one constraint. You are ready for the next step.

Generative Design > Define > Constraints > Ready with incomplete fixed

Constraints

Structural Constraints icon

Use constraints to define how the design interacts with the objects no included in the model. Apply enough constraints to fully fix at least one preserve geometry so that it can resist the applied loads.

Generative Design > Define > Loads > Not Ready

Loads (not ready)

It looks like a previous step is still incomplete. Complete the previous steps first.

Generative Design > Define > Loads > Ready and incomplete

Loads (optional)

Structural Loads icon

Loads are the external forces that cause your design to work, but can also bend or break it. The design should be strong enough to resist the loads you apply. Apply loads that best match what the design will be exposed to in the real world. Apply at least one load to a preserve geometry.
