Ideas for Generative Design, including topology optimization, were developed in the 1980s but did not fully take root. The evolution of additive manufacturing has sparked new interest, helping users to produce objects not manufacturable by traditional methods. We are evolving to Generative Engineering (or Human-Assisted Design) by leveraging the astounding improvements in computer and software capability to create an environment that will revolutionize not only product engineering and development, but the entire lifecycle that PLM oversees.
CIMdata Executive Consultant, Dr. Keith Meintjes, shares his thoughts on this topic and more in a recent blog posting which is available at https://www.cimdata.com/en/resources/cimdata-blog/item/11644-beyond-generative-design
In the blog posting he comments that:
“GenDes swims in a sea of other technologies.”
CIMdata will look into this topic in more detail at the upcoming PLM Market & Industry Forum events which will take place in Ann Arbor MI; Frankfurt Germany; Pune, India; Beijing, China; and Tokyo, Japan this coming April. The theme for 2019 is "Augmented Intelligence: Applications Across the Product Lifecycle."
