The Shape Generator Video below goes over the steps necessary to create a shape generator simulation.

Shape generator was introduced in Inventor 2016 R2 and has been updated with new tools like "preserve region" which allows users to specify regions of the model that will not have material removed during the shape generator optimisation.
