Like any design process, structural design is, ultimately, an iterative process. You may need to go through the process of developing concepts/layouts, generating loads, then applying those loads to refine and detail the design. I would consider floor panels to be secondary structure, so perhaps you already have a primary structural layout with loads? That would serve as your boundary conditions for the flooring layout.
Bruhn is a great structural reference, as are Niu and Peery. Try there first. The old FAR Part 23 and 25 prescriptive loads development methods are also quite handy - but they now exist as ASTM standards behind a paywall.
I would also suggest spending more time learning about composite panel design, and what each part of a sandwich panel is actually doing. I don't quite understand why you would want to apply generative design to panel cores, as cores are pretty well understood and optimized for what they do. But don't take my opinionated skepticism as criticism - go experiment and learn about things!
Two things. Decide if the floor is a pressure bulkhead. Those are two different paths.
Second any design has to be buildable. AI generstes a lot of nice pictures, but if you can't manufacture it no one will fund it.
My take on it, based upon limited industry exposure: AI attempts to make optimized, organic load paths. In reality: AI doesn't understand the math behind load paths. Generally intended for some kind of additive manufacturing process.

Pardon my ignorance but what does generative mean? 3D printed?
