generating every possible trajectory in a workspace

Hey everyone, is it possible to generate every possible trajectory in matlab/simulink for a 6 axis robotic arm in a given workspace? If so, how could you please help me ?
I checked the manipulatorStateSpace but didn't seem like what I was looking for (correct me if I was wrong).

Um, no. There are infinitely many possible trajectories, if we consider the variables as continuous. But even if all variables were considered as discrete variables, a 6 dimensional parameter space is a massive thing. So even if you could generate all possible trajectories, you would not want to do so, nor would you have the memory to generate and store them all, or the CPU time to do so.

Okay, thank you for your answer
Typically, this is why we use optimization tools, to allow us to search through a space that is too complex to generate all possible alternatives.
Agreed, it seems like a promising idea. I should also subtract the area where collision objects are located, right? This way, we can effectively observe the reachable workspace with the objects surrounding the robot. I currently don't know how to do it but I am sure I can figure it out !
