Defining the design criteria
- [Instructor] The Design Criteria, coupled with the conditions, gives generative design the goals that it needs for developing the shape. So with the update to Fusion 360, we've had a guide added to our toolbar, but we'll be focusing still on the Design Criteria. The first thing we'll do, we want to establish the goal that the generative design study will have. We can choose to minimize the mass, setting a safety factor, or we can maximize the stiffness, setting a safety factor, and a mass target. For this study, I want to minimize the mass, and set the safety factor to five. We're not trying to get down to a super lightweight part here, just produce as much mass as reasonable. Next we'll take a look at the manufacturing processes that will be used. We have the option of doing an unrestricted model, which doesn't take into account what those processes will be. For my purposes, I don't want to use that, but I will keep additive, and I would like to see what happens with the 3-axis…
