With the update to 2026x the training course Design Exploration Essentials has been extended by two lessons and workshops on Bead Optimization.  Using a simple model of a bracket the workflow is demonstrated and can be followed along by the learner.

Feel free to check it out on 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Space here: https://eduspace.3ds.com/CompanionManager/ui/index_lms.html?lpId=226035&lang=en&lexType=1.

The course covers an introduction to generative design followed by model preparation and the setup, run and validation of an design exploration study now for topology, shape and - new - bead optimization.

Sizing optimization will be added in a future update.

The material is designed for users of the Structural Generative Engineer (OPZ) Role on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. It is part of the 3DEXPERIENCE simulation training library - please contact your sales representative for access!
