Reduce Cost and Improve Designs
While Additive Manufacturing technologies can produce a part which is both lighter and stronger than counterparts produced by traditional methods, effectively utilizing this design freedom is not trivial. Tosca Structure is used to perform topology optimization to determine an optimum material distribution in a defined design area while accounting for existing constraints to the design space: boundary conditions, fixations and pretensions, and loads.
This eSeminar (available in the SIMULIA Learning Community) is a deep dive into our optimization technology to demonstrate how parametric and non-parametric optimization technology can be used to improve Additive Manufacturing designs and reduce process-specific costs.
