What is generative design software?
Generative design software autonomously creates optimal designs from a set of system design requirements. Engineers can interactively specify their requirements and goals, including preferred materials and manufacturing processes—and the generative engine will automatically produce a manufacture-ready design as a starting point or as a final solution. As a result, engineers can interact with the technology to create superior designs and drive product innovation more quickly.
Creo Generative Design Helps Jacobs Engineering Optimize Design of Portable Life Support System
“The most exciting thing about Generative Design, to me, is that it challenges my biases. As an engineer, I like right angles, flat surfaces and round dimensions, and Generative Design says that may not be the best solution. And so, if I want to be the best possible engineer at my job, I look to Generative Design to find those kinds of solutions.”
