Generative Design in Autodesk Fusion

Autodesk Fusion's generative design is a cutting-edge technology that allows you to quickly generate design options based on specific parameters and constraints that you set. Our advanced CAD course harnesses the power of generative AI, making it an ideal choice for individuals eager to stay at the forefront of innovation.

Here's how it works:

1. You start by creating a basic shape or "blank" object in Fusion, such as a bracket or a frame.

2. You set up the design parameters and constraints, such as the weight, dimensions, and load requirements. This is where you tell the generative AI software what you want your design to achieve.

3. You select the material you want, such as steel or aluminium, and any manufacturing constraints, such as milling or casting.

4. Once you have set up all the parameters, Fusion's generative design engine takes over and generates multiple design options based on your criteria. Each option will be a unique variation of the blank object you started with, with different shapes and configurations that meet the requirements you set up.

5. You can then compare the design options to select the best one that meets your needs.

Fusion's generative design is especially useful for complex designs that require optimization, such as aerospace components or medical devices, however, the skills apply to all situations! It allows you to explore different design options quickly and efficiently, helping you to find the best solution for your specific needs.

No prior experience is required. This training course will take you through all the required steps, regardless of your level.

That being said, some beginners experience in CAD is desirable and will give us the time to cover the content in more detail.

Whether you're an experienced professional or an aspiring enthusiast, our generative AI course is designed to provide comprehensive insights into the latest tools and techniques. Join us to delve into the exciting world of generative 3D modelling and elevate your advanced CAD skills to new heights.

This training will take you though all of the steps required to run a Generative Design study in Fusion. We will show you how to:

• Set up a Generative Design study

• Prepare models for generation through optimisation and simplification

• Mark Preserve, Obstruction & Starter Geometry areas

• Assign Materials, Loads & Constraints

• Tell the software what the goal is (eg. mass reduction)

• Understand the results through filtering and result comparisons.

• Turn the generative design into a usable 3D model.

We understand that learning something new is not a one-and-done affair. One day of training can give you the basic information, but often the questions and understanding come from putting the training into practice.

That is why all full-day training courses come with our 6-month Support Guarantee.

This service is part of your training package and means that we will provide unlimited support for the six months after your training to answer questions and help ensure that your training can be put to good use.
