My Learning - Generative workspace
Here are the My Learning campaigns for the Generative workspace.
Generative Design > Define > Check Model > Incomplete
Model Check
![]()
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.

Generative Design > Define > Check Model > Complete
Model Check
![]()
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)
![]()
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 > Edit Model > Ready and Complete
Edit Model
![]()
You used the Edit Model contextual environment to prepare your geometry. You are ready for the next step.
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)
![]()
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
![]()
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
![]()
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)
![]()
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.

Generative Design > Define > Obstacles > Ready and Complete
Obstacles
![]()
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)
![]()
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
![]()
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.

Generative Design > Define > Starting Shape > Ready and Complete
Starting Shape
![]()
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
![]()
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)
![]()
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
![]()
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
![]()
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)
![]()
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.

Generative Design > Define > Loads > Ready and complete
Loads
![]()
Loads are the external forces that cause your design to work, but can also bend or break it. You have applied at least one load. You are ready for the next step.
Generative Design > Define > Loads > Ready with warning
Loads (warning)
![]()
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 > Objectives > Objectives
Objectives
![]()
By default, the Minimize Mass method is selected. You can change the settings in the Objectives dialog.

Generative Design > Define > Objectives > Manufacturing
Manufacturing
![]()
At least one manufacturing method is selected. You can select more methods and compare outcomes generated for each of them.
Generative Design > Define > Materials > Incomplete
Materials
![]()
Select at least one material for your design. You can select up to seven materials to generate multiple sets of outcomes.

Generative Design > Define > Materials > Incomplete with warning
Materials (warning)
![]()
Select up to seven materials that are suitable for the manufacturing methods that you want to use.

Generative Design > Define > Materials > Complete
Materials
![]()
To generate multiple sets of outcomes, select up to seven materials. You have specified at least one material for your design. You are ready for the next step.
Generative Design > Define > Preview > Not Ready
Preview (not ready)
![]()
It looks like a previous step is still incomplete. Complete the previous steps first.
Generative Design > Define > Preview > Ready and optional
Preview (optional)
![]()
Use the Previewer tool to see the early stages of the generation process. You can see if the geometry is generated where you want (between preserve geometries) and not generated where you don't want (where obstacle geometries are).

Generative Design > Define > Preview > Ready and complete
Preview
![]()
You have used the Previewer tool to see the outcome preview. You are ready for the next step. If you want to adjust the setup, modify your study settings.
Generative Design > Define > Generate > Not Ready

![]()
It looks like a previous step is still incomplete. Complete the previous steps first.
Generative Design > Define > Generate > Ready and incomplete
Generative Design > Define > Generate > Ready and complete

![]()
The generation of outcomes is in progress. View them in the Explore workspace.
