Creating a Shape From the Shape Optimization Result

You can convert the finite element representation of the selected optimized shape and iso-surface to a 3D solid model. You can also adjust the relative element density and select the finite element representation of the concept shape.

Note: You cannot generate a new solid shape for a failed or ended execution of the Compute Shape process for the finite element representation.

Before you begin: Open the Shape Optimization assistant.

  1. From the Concept section, select Concept generation.
    Functional Generative Design displays a finite element representation of the optimized shape.
  2. Enter a name for the concept shape.
  3. Select Targeted number of faces and define the number of faces for the concept shape.

    The result may be an approaching number.
