Support for Mass Idealizations in Generative Design
Creo+
User Interface Location: In the Generative Design application, click Physics > Mass.

Description
In Generative Design, you can now define a point mass to represent a concentrated mass without stiffness and specific shape, and then apply it to the preserved geometry surfaces.
You can use a point mass idealization to study how the model behaves with that mass located at a particular location without specifying the entire geometry. A centrifugal or acceleration load is required to support a point mass idealization.
This enhancement is available in both Modal and Structural studies.
Benefits
With this enhancement, you can easily apply a mass load without needing to specify the entire geometry. This enhancement captures the design intent without compromising the loading conditions.
