Activity 3: Generate outcomes

In this activity, you verify the study status to ensure the study setups meet the requirements and you generate outcomes.

Prerequisites

• Activity 2 is complete.
• This activity requires tokens. If you don't want to spend tokens, you can use the predefined sample files from the Data Panel: Generative Design Samples.

Steps

1. Verify the study status to ensure the study setups meet the requirements to generate outcomes.

   1. On the Define tab, click Generate > Pre-check .
      
      Note: The Study Status icon with the yellow exclamation mark indicates that you can generate outcomes but there are potential issues with the study.
   2. In the Ready to Generate with Warnings dialog, review the items because they may impact the results for the study.
      • Warning: Some bodies or components are hidden. If they are assigned obstacle, preserve, or starting shape geometry, they still participate in the outcome generation.
      Note: In the next step, we make these bodies visible.
   3. Click Close.

2. Find the hidden bodies and make them visible.

   1. To make the hidden bodies visible, in the Browser, under Model Components, expand Bodies.
   2. Click next to the Body 4 and Body 5.

3. Start generating outcomes for the generative study.

   Note: This step requires tokens to complete. If you don't want to spend tokens, you can use the predefined sample file from the Data Panel: Generative Design Samples > Ready to Explore > Explore_Motorcycle Triple Clamp.
   1. On the Define tab, click Generate > Generate .
      
      Tip: Alternatively, you can access the Generate dialog from the browser. Right-click a study, and select Generate from the context menu.
   2. In the Generate dialog, click Generate 1 Study.
      
      The Job Status dialog opens, where you can view the processing status for the generative study.
   3. In the Job Status dialog, click Close.
      
      Tip: You can show the status any time. In the top-right corner, on the Application bar, click the Job Status icon and select View Job Status.
   4. To dismiss the “Thumbnails for your Outcomes will appear…” message, click OK.
      
      The Explore contextual environment opens, where you can see the outcomes.

4. Check the status of generated outcomes for the generative study.

   1. In the Outcome filters pane, take a look at the icon next to the study name.
      
      
      
      Note: After Fusion finishes processing all outcomes for the study, the study status changes to Converged or Completed . You can start exploring outcomes even if their status is Processing .
