Generative Design (s.p)
Generative Design – The Future of Mechanical Engineering Introduction Imagine telling a computer: “I need a strong machine component, but it should be as light as possible.” Instead of drawing only one design, the computer can create many different designs and help the engineer choose the best one. This technology is called Generative Design . Generative Design is an emerging technology that combines Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Artificial Intelligence (AI), engineering principles and computer simulation to develop better products. What is Generative Design? Generative Design is a design method in which the engineer gives the computer the requirements and limitations of a component. For example, an engineer can specify: Required strength Applied load Material Maximum weight Available space Manufacturing method Cost requirements The computer then studies different possibilities and generates several design solutions. The engineer finally selects the most suitable design. How Do...
