About Setup Validation

When you validate your setup, Functional Generative Design applies the prescribed conditions defined in the analysis setup and runs a static perturbation analysis of the model.

Running the Validation

You can set up the mesh size of all the parts of an assembly using the Configure and you can verify that the simulation is correct using the Check button. The analysis of your model must complete and generate the expected results before you continue configuring the optimization.

Note: If you create a frequency target or frequency constraint in the optimization, Functional Generative Design adds a frequency step to your analysis before performing the validation.
