Abstract: Generative design concept for product design is now evolving in design industries day by day. Many design software developers are now trying to develop software which can generate design solutions using this concept. Companies like Autodesk, Creo, Altair and Siemens have already started providing this functionality in their software products. To showcase the above concept, in this paper we generated multiple novel generative design solutions for mechanical related products on Autodesk Fusion 360 software by performing three design case studies, viz., wall bracket, connecting rod and knuckle joint fork end. The methodology adopted by these software tools to develop multiple novel solutions is presented using flowchart. From these multiple solutions, one optimal design is selected. The static FEA simulation results can be visualised using the simulation user interface provided in the software. For all the three case studies, it is observed that, the stress and global displacement results are found within the critical yield strength values of respective material along with mass customisation.
