In order to be able to plan tool paths along which a tool is to be moved in a generative manufacturing process in a particularly advantageous manner in the generative manufacturing process by means of the tool, at least reinforcing fibers for reinforcing a component to be produced by means of the generative manufacturing process along fiber webs (12), the following are to be planned Steps provided: by means of an electronic computing device: receiving component data characterizing a virtual model (10) of the component to be produced (step EMP); by means of the electronic computing device: receiving at least one input which characterizes at least one load (F) attacking the virtual model (10) at at least one location (S) and the location (S) (step RCV); and by means of the electronic computing device: performing a topology optimization on the basis of the input and on the basis of the component data, the fiber webs (12) and the tool paths resulting therefrom being determined by the topology optimization in such a way that a load on the virtual model (10.) resulting from the load (F) ) fulfills a predetermined optimization criterion.
