Study of Generative Design Using Autodesk Fusion 360

Abstract: This study explores the use of generative design in Autodesk Fusion 360 for improving knuckle joint design. By applying generative design principles, we created optimized designs specifically for additive manufacturing, which showed a significant reduction in von Mises stress compared to conventional designs. These results highlight the ability of generative design to develop structures that are more efficient and better suited for specific manufacturing processes. Overall, our findings suggest that generative design can optimize knuckle joints by lowering stress, reducing weight through careful material selection, and improving stiffness, offering valuable benefits for mechanical applications.
