Solve a generative study

Solve a generative study.

00:05

After completing this video, you'll be able to generate a study

00:12

in fusion 3 60.

00:13

Let's carry on with our internal combustion engine gen design set up at this point,

00:18

we are ready to solve and generate our study.

00:21

Notice that in the generate section, we have an option simply called generate.

00:25

There's also generate details and job status that can be viewed during the solve.

00:30

Once we click generate,

00:31

we'll be prompted to solve any available

00:35

studies that are in this generative design.

00:37

Note that we only have generative model four study three. Currently in here,

00:42

these can be renamed before you decide to solve your generative study.

00:46

And that can be helpful if you're

00:48

solving multiple studies or multiple generative models.

00:51

Also note that it does show our status.

00:54

It tells us that we have a warning about the milling head diameter.

00:58

If the status was more than just a warning, it would not let us solve at this point.

01:03

It is also important to note that currently this

01:05

costs 11 cloud credits to solve a generative study.

01:09

There is no current cost associated with exploring

01:12

the outcomes or exporting those as designs,

01:14

but you do have to use 11 cloud credits in order to generate this.

01:19

If this is your first time using fusion 3 60 generative design,

01:23

there are also trial periods for the generative design extension that

01:27

allow you to have unlimited solves for a period of time.

01:31

While the cloud job is solving, we will be able to see the results in real time.

01:36

However,

01:36

it will take a considerable amount of time before we have all of our results,

01:40

either finished,

01:42

completed or converged.

01:47

So at this point as it begins to solve,

01:49

you can see that it tells us that the thumbnails will appear as they are processing.

01:54

The solve status is just at 5%.

01:56

And if we expand this, we can see that this solving is currently taking place.

02:01

This is going to be happening for all studies that you chose to solve.

02:05

In our case, it's only a single study.

02:07

We're going to allow this to begin to populate and we'll

02:10

check back in as soon as we begin having some results.

02:14

Once we start to see outcomes being generated, we can look at them in real time.

02:18

Uh At this point,

02:19

we've only got one or two iterations and some

02:22

of them are still calculating the first iteration.

02:25

So really it depends on the complexity of your outcomes.

02:29

So for example, if you're dealing with a low synthesis resolution

02:33

and you have one manufacturing method and one material that's gonna solve quite

02:37

a bit faster than if you increase

02:39

the synthesis resolution have multiple materials,

02:41

multiple manufacturing methods

02:43

and a lot of different load cases.

02:45

So our situation here is we've got a lot of load cases.

02:49

We've got a handful of materials and several different manufacturing methods.

02:54

So this means it's gonna take a little bit of time and you

02:56

should check back in periodically to see where everything is in the solve.

03:01

At this point, I'm gonna finish the explorer and I'll come back in a few hours,

03:04

check on the solves and then view the outcomes.

03:06

Then

03:08

at this point by invoking the generative solve,

03:10

we don't need to save the design and we can simply

03:13

check back in once we have some outcomes to explore.
