Description
Discover the advantages Autodesk's new generative techniques have over well-known optimization methods. We’ll explain this using two next-generation technologies: Generative Modeling and Generative Design. The session will give you a solid understanding of differences and how to apply the two techniques. You’ll learn how to verify results in the simulation environment of Autodesk Fusion 360 and Inventor Nastran software, and how to interpret safety factors and von Mises stress values. Safely removing a significant amount of material without fear of structural failure is not easy, but you’ll see how to do it easily and safely. You’ll learn how to use Autodesk Fusion 360 to increase product-development agility and optimize the design-to-manufacturing process. Generative Design capabilities are in Autodesk Fusion 360 and Inventor software. Cloud collaboration makes it possible to verify one design in different Autodesk software systems. You’ll also have the opportunity to get your questions directly to the people creating new features.
Key Learnings
- Learn the difference between Generative Modeling and Generative Design.
- Explore how you’re connecting workflows between Inventor and Autodesk Fusion 360 and the benefits you’ve seen.
- Find out how to quickly generate lower-cost design alternatives.
- Explore the capability to produce complex shapes that were previously impossible.
Speakers
Tomasz KasperekTomasz Kasperek, Ph.D. is a Senior QA Analyst at Autodesk. Member of the development NASTRAN Team. He is a certified expert of the Mechanical Engineers and Technicians Association and a court expert. He has practical experience in the industry as well as in the research and development departments. He specializes in structural and fluid structure interaction analysis (FSI) including vibration, fatigue, and thermal loads. Tomasz is an author of publications in scientific journals like “Archives of Machine Design”. In addition to Autodesk, he has worked with software like Ansys, Abaqus, CodeAster or OpenFoam. He is a simulation certified instructor and a regular speaker at many specialized trainings i.e., in the Kingdom of Bahrain, Persian Gulf. He performed numerous technical expertise’s in fields including energy and military industry. Tomasz can be reached at tomasz.kasperek@autodesk.com- RBRavi BurlaI am a Research Engineer in the structural solvers group at Autodesk.

Ben WeissBen joined Autodesk in 2018 after graduating with a doctorate in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Washington, Seattle, where he researched design optimization with additive manufacturing constraints. At Autodesk, he has leveraged his experiences to help build new manufacturing constraints for Generative Design in Fusion, this time focused on 2D cutting and machining processes. A self-described “optimization nerdâ€, Ben brings a strong theoretical knowledge of the algorithms driving Generative Design to his presentations, helping users make the most of their cloud credits. Prior to graduating, Ben built industry experience through a wide array of internships in structural design, machine design, robotics, electronics, and software development. In graduate school, Ben was named an NSF Graduate Research Fellow and acted as a teaching assistant and guest lecturer for several 3D printing and programming classes.
