This tool will enable you to select regions where fixings will occur such as bolts and plated connections. You will also notice that an option is present to preserve regions. Within the Shape Generator toolset you then add your Boundary Conditions (Constraints) and desired loads.
The next stage is to launch the Shape Generator. The first step is to model the bracket with its basic form with all fixing positions. The bracket needs to be designed to take a load of 500KN/m² with a safety factor of 1.2. In this simple example shown above I have taken a simple bracket fabricated from 6mm thick steel plate with a simple gusset plate added for stiffness. Although this technology is currently not within the traditional structural design products from Autodesk such as Autodesk Robot and Autodesk Advance Steel it is worth noting that manufacturers of mass produced structural systems can benefit from the optimisation of traditional products. Within the release of Autodesk Inventor 2016 R2 is the Shape Generator tool for the design of efficient, light weight structural systems based on typical boundary conditions and loads that you specify.
