Modification of Components Using Generative Design Tools

Parametric and generative design represent key elements of contemporary design, offering faster and more efficient ways of creating compared to traditional approaches. This article explores the use of generative design and parametric design in the field of industrial design, focusing on the application of generative design tools in Fusion 360 software for designing functional objects. Generative design, through algorithms and rules, enables the exploration of various design variants to find the optimal solution. It focuses on creating organic shapes and optimizing them based on specific criteria, drawing inspiration from natural elements. Parametric design, on the other hand, concentrates on directly defining and manipulating model parameters, allowing for quick design adjustments. The article also provides a detailed view of the generative study design process in Fusion 360 software, including a description of settings and design options. Furthermore, it highlights the benefits of its use through practical examples of generative design applications and the design possibilities offered by this approach. In the practical part of this article, the creation of a real component through generative design in Creo PTC software was demonstrated. This process shows how modern tools allow not only the creation of complex and functional shapes but also the direct application of optimization algorithms to improve designs in a real-world environment.
