Aircraft Fuselage Optimization
This custom-made aerospace case study demonstrates what can be done with any assembly, part, or structure of an aircraft. This is a fuselage section on which sizing (thickness changes) and topology (shape changes) were used to optimize the structure for a couple of very simple load cases; cabin pressure and passenger weight. Many other load cases can be put onto it to demonstrate the full potential of aerospace design through optimization.
Topology Optimization for a Housing Reinforcement to Improve Manufacturability
Introduction to Housing Structures Housing structures are used to contain and protect mechanical machinery or structural components, such as transmission boxes. They prevent the interior mechanism from being affected by outside debris and may also include integrated...
The Upgraded What-if Utility
When the user launches the What-if, all possible polynomial approximation models and radial basis interpolation models are loaded into the tool and presented to the user in a few seconds. Because of the robust data filtering mechanisms and the power of the underlying DOT optimizer the user is guaranteed to get quick and accurate predictions as seen in Fig 2. For best results, the user is advised to limit the changes in constraints to less than 2.5%. Try it out today!

Quick Domains for Shape Optimization – Making Domain Creation Automatic
With the new version of Design Studio, v23, a new way of creating domains automatically for shape optimization called Quick Domains has been introduced. Shape optimization takes an existing structure and pushes the shape of it into the most efficient solution for...
Topography Optimization to Increase Stiffness
Topography optimization is a special form of shape optimization which generates bead patterns or shape profiles on given design surfaces. In GSAM, the surface could come from a shell body or solid body. With topography optimization, the stiffness, frequency, or other...
Topology Optimization for Rib Design to Improve Stiffness and/or Mass
Introduction to Ribbed Structures Adding ribs to stiffen structures or to reduce their mass is quite common. The question is where to locate the ribs and their dimensions. In this blog we will show an example of how to use topology optimization to design ribs using...
Creating Custom Results using Design Studio’s Synthetic Results
Design Studio’s Synthetic Results give the user the ability to create custom results to view in Post. Synthetic Results can be mathematical combinations of results, min/max of multiple results, factors applied to results, field values from cards created by...
What If? A Tool for ILIAD
Design is an iterative process which often necessitates reassessment of design parameters and constraints. When optimization is used in assisting design, engineers may find themselves asking “what if” a constraint was relaxed slightly, or a parameter was...
