The key to a long-term and efficient conceptualization phase is called optimization. Our calculation experts utilize the optimization tool Optistruct to get the best out of products even in the early development stages.
We make use of topology, design and topography optimization to this end.
As a result, topology optimizations reduce not only component weight but also effectively minimize component costs. The optimized components are then being implemented in CAD within coordination between the simulation engineer (CAE) and CAD developer. The component is then being validated with respect to strength and rigidity using Altair Hyperworks. This validation follows a manufacturability analysis, for example with plastic injection moulded parts using Moldex 3D.
