Generative Design

Generative design is a cutting-edge approach to design that leverages advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence to explore and generate multiple design solutions based on specified criteria and constraints. It involves the creation of design spaces and the iterative exploration of various possibilities, allowing the algorithm to evolve and adapt designs over time. Generative design aims to optimize and innovate by considering multiple factors simultaneously, such as material usage, structural integrity, manufacturing process and performance requirements. In the context of engineering and product design, generative design often intersects with topology optimisation, a subset that specifically focuses on optimising material distribution within a given design space.

Perhaps its best known benefit, generative design and topology optimisation can make your designs lighter, with less material, cheaper, and more efficient. However, it doesn’t end there. With the latest generative design technology, we can optimise your design for a given manufacturing process and even generate multiple designs to help with deciding the manufacturing process. Generative design now even extends itself to fluid flow applications, allowing for designs optimised based on pressure drop, flow, and heat transfer.
