What is Performance Driven Generative Design?

Performance Driven Generative Design is an AI design tool that automatically creates optimized part designs based on functional specifications and performance requirements. It generates structurally validated shapes that reduce weight and meet performance targets, allowing engineers and product designers to explore multiple design alternatives without simulation expertise.

What sets Performance Driven Generative Design apart?

Performance Driven Generative Design sets itself apart with specialized design modes for both structural and fluid flow optimization, giving mechanical engineers freedom to create shapes that would be impossible with traditional design methods. This multi-variant approach proves valuable for design teams who need to make data-driven decisions when comparing different design concepts and their key performance indicators. The system's built-in understanding of manufacturing constraints for both additive and traditional methods like milling, casting, and forging allows product teams to move directly from concept to production without rework.
