If you’ve read through the guide to this point, you now know how to create a Generative Function and run it from within the app, so now it’s time to make one for yourself!

The Generative method is especially useful for problems where:

  • You can define a Generative Function which creates a design or model and analyses its performance in areas you’re interested in.
  • The best solution isn’t obvious, for example:
    • The physics are complex, and you want to explore alternatives or perform some optimisation.
    • The item tailored for different situations, for example with custom wearables, and optimisation is required for each situation.

To ensure your Generative Function is well-suited for use in the Platform’s Experiments, make sure you read the parameterisation section.

To see common engineering examples for inspiration, take a look at the cantilever example and the airfoil example.
