Design Explorer

New Features

Generative Design
Generative Design is a brand new workflow in the Design Explorer which can be used to generate and consider many potential design concepts for a given problem.
Figure 1.


Like the standard DE workflows for DOEs and Optimizations, Generative Design is a user-friendly, graphics-driven environment, simplifying the problem definition and setup tasks.

Finally, the workflow provides you with a rich set of post-processing tools which you can use to browse, filter, interrogate, and compare potential concepts.

Enhancements

  • MELS type DOEs can now be extended, allowing you to add additional runs to existing DOEs.
  • Failed runs ignore in generation of response surface fit. Previously, any failed runs were included which, in some cases, could affect the fit quality.

Resolved Issues

  • You are now able to select load cases when creating Measure responses.
  • Additional Radioss groups, including Type 25, are now supported in Force response creation.
  • You are now able to evaluate mass and volume responses for single OptiStruct PBARL or PBEAML properties.
