Generative Design

摘要

Generative design is an algorithm-driven approach. It relies on software programs with built-in formulas to explore and identify the best design option from a range of possibilities. Some have compared generative design to the Darwinian principle of natural selection. Examples of software programs in this market include Bentley Systems' GenerativeComponents or GC; McNeel & Associates' Grasshopper (a plug-in to Bentley Systems' GC); and Autodesk Within.
