What is "Generative Design"?
What is "Generative Design"?
You can think of Generative Design as the "big sibling" of Automated Modeling and similar tools
Where Automated Modeling has a limited understanding of the product performance and design for manufacturing requirements, Generative Design has a relatively complete understanding of these considerations (only as complete as the data provided)

Why use Generative Design?
Why use Generative Design?
When properly executed, Generatively-Designed products have the greatest theoretical strength-to-weight ratio achievable in a specific design
Expert implementation of Generative Design also allows for:
Assembly Consolidation - reduction in the total number of independent parts in a given assembly by making them all one piece
Manufacturing Simplification - adapting designs to be manufactured with different, more efficient manufacturing processes

Generative Design for Additive
Generative Design lends itself extremely well to AM due to the fact that typically the most optimal geometries for structures are organically-shaped.
This is because most traditional manufacturing process constraints make it difficult/impossible to manufacturing organically-shaped structures, whereas AM has little to no difficulty doing so
However, Generative Design currently still is not able to fully reap the maximum benefits of AM as a process, particularly in the case of infill (non-solid) structures
