Previously, structural optimizations for generative design could only minimize the strain energy at a mass or volume target. The new design goal allows you to do the reverse-minimize mass while maintaining the safety factor requirements.

Starting from Creo Parametric 9.0, it is useful when you want to generate a part with the minimum mass necessary to properly support the loading conditions. It allows you to generate low-mass parts that can support the specified load conditions.

Note : A combination of safety factor design goal and Displacement constraint is not recommended.
