Did you know you can define rigid bodies in Creo generative design?

Creo Parametric 12.4.0.0
User Interface Location:

• In the Generative Tree, expand the Connected Geometry node.

• Select a deformable body, right-click, and then click Convert to Rigid.

See the video on the Learning Connector

Description
You can now specify connected geometry as rigid in Generative Design. Previously, all bodies were treated as deformable.
Connected geometry is created when contacts are defined between bodies and appears as a new category of bodies in the Generative Tree.
During optimization, you can choose to apply either rigid or deformable behavior to the geometry, depending on your application needs.

Benefits
This enhancement improves performance, as rigid bodies solve significantly faster than deformable bodies.
