PRESENTER: Once you open Fusion 360 from the File menu,
00:04
click Open.
00:05
Click Open from My Computer, and browse
00:08
to where you've saved the Fusion archive and click Open.
00:13
Here we can see we have a monitor
00:14
stand with four identical arms that we will
00:18
redesign in generative design.
00:20
First, let's click Save from the Quick Access Toolbar.
00:26
We'll save this into a project called GenExploration.
00:30
If you do not have one, create it and then click Save.
00:35
Click OK on the version description.
00:39
From the ribbon, change from the Design
00:41
workspace to the Generative Design workspace.
00:44
We will need to make some geometry modifications
00:47
to prepare the model.
00:49
Isolating the arm we'll be using as a starting point,
00:52
we need to create bodies that will be maintained
00:55
and where the forces will act upon.
00:57
These are known as preserves.
00:60
We will need to leverage connector obstacles
01:02
to represent bolts, as well as create
01:05
bodies representing clearances.
01:07
These are known as obstacles.
01:10
Once completed with our edits, we
01:12
can finish by clicking Finish, Edit Model,
01:15
and begin setting up our design space.
01:18
Connector obstacles will automatically
01:19
be assigned as obstacle regions.
01:22
Let's add the additional two bodies as obstacle regions
01:25
and click OK.
01:27
Hiding these will allow better visibility
01:29
to selecting the four annular regions that we
01:32
created to be our preserves.
01:35
Once selected, click OK.
