+Introduction

Because Generative Design is a new design approach, it requires new forms of visualization to communicate the logic of the generative model and visualize the behavior of the optimization algorithm as it finds the optimal designs. This session will review a variety of visualization approaches based on examples from industry. It will also demonstrate a set of standard visualization techniques including generational composites, time-based plots, parallel plots, scatter plots, and design animations.

This session will conclude with a discussion of current developments in Generative Design and a forecast of the near future of design automation based on recent developments in Machine Learning and AI.

In this demo we set up our basic branching logic by creating a new function called grow(). This function takes a starting point and a parameter as an input, and based on that parameter creates either one or two new points and lines connecting the starting point to the new point(s).
