Generative Design Capabilities

Hello,

I am planning to use "Generative Design" tool in Creo Parametric - Release 7.0 (connected) Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.3.0; I don't have access to it yet.

Does "Generative Design" tool in Creo 7.0.3 have the following capabilities while optimizing a design space?:
1. Inertia Relief Analysis (without any specified displacement restraints)
2. Modal Analysis
3. Thermal Analysis

If these capabilities are available in a different version of Creo, or, being planned for development, please provide some details.

Thank you!

    One thing that may be helpful to know: in Creo 9.0, there will be the ability to split surfaces. This may be a useful workaround. It doesn't quite enable selecting edges/vertices for loads/constraints, but you can create a very small surface to which you can apply the loads/constraints. I hope that's helpful.

    Hi @vugru 

     

    1. Nothing in the plans currently. Please do submit an Idea here, though!

    2. Coming in Creo 9.0

    3. Planned for Creo 10 (this is subject to change).

      Hi @lwestbrook ,

       

      In Generative Design Application within Creo 7.0.3, it looks like I can only choose surfaces to apply restraints and loads. However, the loads and restraints in a design space that I'm trying to optimize are along edges and vertices that are part of preserved geometry. How can I define this? Thanks!

      Hello @vugru 

       

      I anticipate first that I'm not an expert in GDX/GTO, so that if you have follow-up question, I rely on the community to help you further. Alternatively, feel free to open a case with PTC Technical Support on this kind of questions.

       

      Regarding your initial question, please consider that:

      • Inertia Relief Analysis is not supported
      • Modal Analysis and Thermal Analysis:
        • Are also not supported in Creo Parametric 7.0
        • But planned for the future as documented in GTO section of Resolution field of article 323850: [Knowledge Hub] Creo Parametric Generative Design Central Resource Page
        • The future is already "here" for the Modal Analysis starting from Creo Parametric 9.0:
          • No official info on this for now (because version 9.0 is not in the market yet)
          • but will be documented in "What's New" section of Help Center and article, when it will arrive on the market
          • Version 9.0 is planned April 2022 (acurate date still unknown), as documented in Product Release Calendar page
        • No info for when it will be ready for Thermal ones nowadays

      Then regarding your last question, if Creo Siumalte and/or Creo SImulate Live allows to apply Loads/Constraints also on edges and vertices, loads/constraints can be applied only on surfaces in GTO environment (as far as I know, but not 100 % sure here, once again, because not an expert in this technical area). For the vertex, a Total Load at point approach documented in article 352184 may help.

       

      Probable additional interesting material for you:

       

      Regards,
