Generation methods
- [Instructor] When creating a new generative design study, we need to specify a method type which determines how the study will run. This can be either optimize, randomize, cross-product or like this. So in this lesson, let's take a look at what each of these mean, and how they can influence the generative design process. Let's start with optimize. The optimize method allows us to generate and evolve a multitude of design options to improve a solution based on a single or multiple objective design goals. In doing so, the optimization method will aim to either minimize or maximize some design criteria by tweaking the parameters that drive the design. For example, say that we wanted to optimize the amount of twist in this tower, to maximize the amount of sunlight entering the North face. There are three things to consider with an optimization study. Firstly, what are the variables that can be adjusted by the algorithm?…
