Generative Design Extension (GDX) is a cloud solution that generates close to manufacture-ready designs based on a set of engineering parameters. It allows you to simultaneously generate a set of multiple design results with different materials and manufacturing constraints. You can then compare, filter, and explore these design alternatives to select the final design for a detailed analysis and manufacture. With GDX, you can explore a broader design space than with traditional design methods, thereby identifying highly optimized designs with better performance.

GDX leverages a set of technologies, including topology optimization and simulation, to generate and evaluate potential designs for a product. Access to cloud computing expands the power of traditional simulation and optimization to multivariate design exploration. In addition to producing multiple design alternatives, it allows you to accelerate the design process without overburdening the engineering staff.
