What is a benefit of using the generative design tool found in Solidworks?

The new Topology Study in SOLIDWORKS® Simulation enables you to quickly and easily optimize shapes from the start of your design work—resulting in lighter, higher–quality parts that are fit for manufacturing.

What are the benefits of generative design?

The advantage of generative design is that it helps create multiple creative options within a short period– a task which is humanly impossible. Lower Costs: Designs produced by generative modeling do not require additional simulation or testing.

Which of the following are advantages of using generative design in manufacturing?

Advantages of Generative Design

• Reduced Product Weight. Simulation during the part design process helps in optimizing part weight while fulfilling other product design requirements.
• Improved Performance. …
• Part Consolidation. …
• Reduced Product Time to Market. …
• Provide Various Design Options.

What are generative tools?

In other words, generative design is a set of digital tools that augment your capabilities as an engineer or designer. Ideally, these tools should address the main engineering need: to efficiently and effectively explore the available design space during all phases of the product development process.

How does generative design relate to 3D printing?

Generative design, or topology optimization, is a goal-oriented approach to part design. Commonly used alongside 3D printing technology, generative design software takes as input a number of design goals such as part performance, spatial limitations, materials, production processes, and cost constraints.

How much does nTopology cost?

If I had one criticism, it’s that there are no concrete, quotable details from nTopology on how much the system costs. We’ve seen indications elsewhere that it’s around the $7,500 per user, per year mark, which seems high and depends on number of seats and company size (which is disappointing).

Who invented generative design?
