Generative design market

Generative design is a design exploration process. Performance or spatial requirements, materials, manufacturing methods, and cost constraints are some of the parameters that are inserted into the generative design software with specific design goals by the designers or the engineers.

Statistics:

The generative design market was valued at US$ 1.88 Bn in 2021 and is forecast to reach a value of US$ 9.04 Bn by 2030 at a CAGR of 20% between 2022 and 2030.

Key Developments:

In March 2021, The Company ALTAIR ENGINEERING INC, declared the release of the Thea Render version 3.0. The Thea Render is the 3D renderer that is 3D which features the state of art and the unbiased graphic processing unit’s engines.

In February 2021, Altair declared that it had adopted the Flow Simulator from the GE Aviation. Flow simulator is an integrated flow, combustion design software and the heat transfer which lets the mixed fidelity simulations to decrease the machine and the system design. The relationship comprises of the Altair’s continuous development of the Flow Simulator.

North America held dominant position in the Global Generative Design Market Share in 2021, accounting for 39.0% share in terms of volume.
