The foundation of engineering design is exploration and iteration. Design is rarely a perfectly linear and straightforward process. In this course, we explore a design for a traditional manufacturing method and use generative design to create the perfect iteration of it. From that point, we'll reverse engineer the generative design and recreate it for a traditional manufacturing method and explore the option of fabricating the generative version to weigh the pros and cons of each.

Reverse Engineering a Generative Design
In Week 3, we’ll focus on comparing an original design to a generative design. Using the generative design to make informed decisions about a design path and ultimately creating a new generative inspired design. We’ll also look at performing a static simulation to ensure our new design meets the criteria set in our generative design study.

TOP REVIEWS FROM GENERATIVE DESIGN FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
by RBAug 2, 2020
Excellent course content. Relatively weak assessment and moderation. A lot of people plagiarizing other's assignments and also false flagging assignments. Not much action seen when reported.
by SKJul 16, 2020
Well tailored course from starting to end. Includes not only generative design as final step but also include way forward utilizing the generative output.
by NBJan 3, 2020
Learned more than I expected to with this course. It's great to augment the Generative Design Skills with the added skills taught in this course.
by PJAug 11, 2020
Very well explained. The speaker explains minute details and error possibilities as well. Overall an interesting subject to learn.
