Setting the design conditions

- [Narrator] Ultimately, generative design is a simulation process. To set that up, you need constraints and loads. So we'll take a look at our model and we need to make sure that generative design knows what has to be performed by this model. To make things a little more clear, I'll turn off the visibility of the obstacle geometry. Now we'll establish the structural constraints and for simplicity, while I have all of the options of fixed, pin, or frictionless constraints, I'll simply use fixed and select the inside of where the bolts will be held. To apply a load, I'll go to structural loads where we have force, pressure, moment, and bearing loads, and choose a bearing load. I'll pick the inside of where the pin will run through. Make sure that it's pointing upward or in the positive Y direction and I want to be able to make sure that this can handle 200 pounds of force on that pin. All of the typical options can be applied for each of the types of load or constraint. What's most…
