Module quiz

A user manually defines properties for a custom material.

The solver will recommend material choices based on the assigned load cases.

The solver will copy the properties associated with the Physical Material defined in the Design workspace.

Custom materials cannot be defined in the Generative Design workspace, only in the Simulation workspace.

The geometry being generated is intersecting areas where external components will be placed.

The geometry being generated is too thin for the target additive manufacturing process for the part.

The geometry being generated is touching the preserve geometry.

No geometry is generated, or geometry is taking an undesired path.

Mass is iteratively removed from preserve geometries in the design as it approaches the defined safety factor and stiffness requirement.

Mass is iteratively removed from low-stress areas of the design as it approaches the defined safety factor.

Mass is iteratively added to low-stress areas of the design as it approaches the defined safety factor and stiffness requirement.

Mass is iteratively removed from obstacle geometries in the design as it approaches the defined safety factor.

Loads within a load case act simultaneously while entire load cases are applied one at a time in the study.

Only the activated load case will be included in the results. The study must be run again with the other load case(s) activated.

Each study can only have one load case, but an infinite number of loads. The loads all act simultaneously in the study.

All loads from every load case act simultaneously in the study.

Defines solution path around obstacle/preserves that don’t have a clear line of sight, possibly preventing Previewer errors.

Eliminates the need for preserve geometry in the design space, significantly reducing solve time.

Eliminates the need for obstacle geometry in the design space, significantly reducing solve time.

Turns the Generative Design study into a Shape Optimization study which is more reliable and can solve faster.
