1. Heat Sink
Different iteration of heat sinks were created for the thermal stress analysis which aims to decrease the area of the heat sink while getting the lowest possible temperature.
2. Column Buckling
Different constraints including Pinned-Pinned, Fixed-Pinned, Fixed-Free and Fixed-Fixed were applied to demonstrate the column buckling under load condition. The meshing size were decreased and number of element were increased to carry out convergence study for all the different end conditions.

Generative Design workspace was used to design hook designs with the aim to achieve the highest safety factor possible while keeping it lightest possible.
