A generative design system enables the exploration of various design alternatives and helps identify the most optimal solution based on specific requirements. It consists of several key components:

• Data Import & Transformation: Integrates input constraints, goals, and design parameters, transforming raw data into a usable format.

• Rules-Algorithm: Generates design options based on predefined rules, logic, and algorithms that guide the design exploration process.

• Simulation: Tests and evaluates each design's performance against functional requirements through virtual simulations.

• Optimizer: Iteratively refines and improves designs to efficiently meet the defined objective function, ensuring the best possible outcome.

This system automates the design process, allowing for faster, data-driven decisions and innovative solutions.

Data Import

Everything starts with easy access to rich, accurate data. With HOOPS Exchange, you can import over 30 different CAD file formats, native formats like SOLIDWORKS, Catia, Creo, and NX and interoperable standards like STEP, IGES, and JT.

If CAE data is part of your workflow, CEETRON Access provides import capabilities for over 30 industry-standard CAE formats from ANSYS, Siemens, and MSC.

All of this is from fast, stand-alone libraries without needing to connect to CAD systems. No other company has imported more CAD and CAE data.

Solid & Mesh Modeling

Most CAD and CAM software rely heavily on a solid modeling kernel for model creation, refinement, and machining operations. Over 50% of today's 3D computer-aided technologies utilize Siemens Parasolid, the top modeling kernel. As the exclusive reseller of Parasolid, Tech Soft 3D provides seamless integration with many of our toolkits, facilitating rapid application development.

For polygon-based data models or additive manufacturing (3D printing) workflows, we resell Machineworks Polygonica, the leading polygonal and mesh modeling toolkit. Like Parasolid, Polygonica integrates directly with many of our existing SDKs, ensuring efficient development and implementation.
