November 12, 2018 · The genesis of generative design can be traced back to simulation software, with topology optimization as the intermediary evolutionary step. Generative design software uses time-tested structural, fluid and thermal simulation technologies; however, instead of asking the user to provide the target geometry, generative design software suggests and recommends appropriate geometry or topology based on user input.
