Hello!
I am a masters student in mechanical engineering and I am about to start to write my thesis on the topic of generative design (as opposed to classical topology optimization) using the GD module in Fusion360.
The original idea was to look at the implementation of GD in the design process as an application of artificial intelligence, as advertised on the Dreamcatcher page. However, I have found no information (yet) about the exact kind of AI usage in this this case. I found out that GD uses a level-set approach for the topology synthesis, which sets it apart from the "classical" SIMP topology optimization, but apart from that and the cloud computing of multiple materials and starting geometries I fail to see the big fundamental AI difference.
Aside from that I've been wondering if the Dreamcatcher functionality has been implemented fully into Fusion360 or if it a "watered down" market version when compared to the original research version? If so, is there a way to access the research version of Dreamcatcher?
I am aware that the forums might not be the best place to ask these question, but I still wanted to try.
