Generate Warning - material is not supported

[Anonymous]

I am currently testing Fusion 360's generative design features. I have a 30 day trial that includes 300 cloud credits to allow for generative studies. I can use the previewer just fine, but when I choose ' Generate' I get warnings that my chosen study materials are not supported, no matter what materials I have chosen. These are the warnings I get in the 'Ready to Generate with Warning' dialog box:

---

Warning: The following material is not supported: 'Aluminum'. The manufacturing cost will not be estimated.

Warning: The following material is not supported: 'Steel'. The manufacturing cost will not be estimated.

---

Has anyone else experienced this and offer a solution?

This is a byproduct of having the aPriori costing enabled. The warning just lets you know that the material selected for a given manufacturing method isn't going to provide costing info. No harm no foul.

Oh fantastic, thanks for clearing that up. I am glad to know that it is not an issue keeping me from proceeding with generating.
