Design Guidance Section

The Design Guidance section of the action bar provides commands for generating geometries between surfaces or bodies that consider weight and stress in the design.

This page discusses:

Flyout for Clamp
Flyout for Force
Flyout for New Design


	Learning Assistant Provides assistance with completing the requirements for Design Guidance.
	Clamp See Flyout for Clamp.
	Force See Flyout for Force.
	New Design See Flyout for New Design.
	Load Case Manager Allows you to turn loads on and off, as well as vary the load mass to compare results. See Compare Results Using the Load Case Manager.
	Create Profiles Creates profile sketches from the shape generated with Design Guidance. See Creating Profiles From Design Guidance Shapes.

Flyout for Clamp


	Clamp Prevents a surface from moving or deforming. See Add Clamps.
	Fixture Restricts a surface to movement within a particular plane. See Add Fixtures.

Flyout for Force


	Force Applies a distributed load normal to a face. See Apply Force.
	Pressure Applies a distributed load normal to a surface. See Apply Pressure.
	Torque Applies a twisting load at an offset location. See Apply Torque.

Flyout for New Design


	New Design Creates a geometry based on loads and restraints. See Create a New Design.
	Redesign Evaluates where the geometry mass can be reduced based on load and restraints. See Redesign an Existing Geometry.
