In episode number 6 of our Podcast series, Daniel Löwen talks about Generative Design (GD). This approach to product development takes center stage as we delve into its transformative aspects. He starts by explaining the fundamentals of Generative Design, offering a profound definition that positions GD as a novel paradigm in product development. Drawing parallels with the Gartner Hype Cycle, we explore the current status of GD in engineering and discuss the barriers hindering its widespread adoption.
Delving into the challenges impeding Generative Design’s progress, Daniel addresses technological constraints, software intricacies, and skill gaps. The crucial question arises: are these barriers genuine or industry misconceptions? We emphasize the pressing need for market education and outlines strategies to reshape the engineering mindset.
Navigating the practical realm of GD, we provide an overview of tools at the forefront, including Autodesk Fusion 360, Siemens NX, and ANSYS Discovery Live. Daniel explains how these tools operate, considering input parameters, goals, and constraints.
