Being able to easily get the right views of a model is very important to understanding the insights it can provide.  Design Studio for Genesis® uses common convection for coordinates, so the standard view buttons in the Viewport often provide the views you want. ...

ESLDYNA is an implementation of the ESL methodology to perform optimization based on an LS-DYNA analysis. The optimization process is based on the Equivalent Static Load (ESL) method and uses an iterative process that utilizes the non-linear structural analysis...

Often times analysts and engineers are confronted with complex and volatile design spaces which are challenging to optimize. Highly nonlinear behavior common to such domains as fluid dynamics and structures under...

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a relatively new manufacturing process that can be used to generate complex parts which sometimes conventional processes cannot create. Topology optimization results can often be realized using AM. However, results from optimization...

Meta-modeling-driven optimization is a very powerful method to achieve a solution very close to the global optimum and in much less time. It is especially useful for studies involving large computation times (such as computational fluid dynamics), data acquired from...

Rib stiffeners are commonly used to strengthen plate and shell structures.  The benefit of the ribs strongly depends on the location and pattern of the ribs.  In general, adding ribs will add stiffness, but they also add material and thus, increase the cost.  It is...

This blog is the continuation of a previous blog entitled: “Shape Optimization Techniques for Designing Features - Part I”.  In Part 1, we described how to create shape morphing boxes and shape morphing vectors that are used to define the shape optimization...
