A Critical Review of Generative Design Methods in Computer-Aided Drafting

  1. Nitin Pal Department of Mechanical Engineering, GLA University, Mathura

Abstract

In the realm of Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD), generative design methods have become a potential strategy for automating and enhancing the design process. These methods generate a wide range of design possibilities based on given characteristics and limitations by using algorithms and computational tools. The objective of this critical study is to assess the benefits, drawbacks, and implications of generative design techniques in CAD. A notable result of this merger is generative design methodologies, which have attracted a lot of interest in the field of computer-aided drafting (CAD). These methodologies, which promise to transform the established design process, use algorithms and computational tools to generate a wide range of design options. But, like with every innovation, there are potential and difficulties that call for a critical analysis.
