[VIDEO] Topology Optimization on a Bracket

Maxime Chagnot
in Modeling
9 3 Beginner
Hello Everyone, This new video is an introduction to Topology Optimization on the 3DExperience Release 19x. Functional Generative Design application brings the best of CATIA (design) and SIMULIA (topology optimization) in order for you to create light and robust parts. This video will show you the entire topology optimization process on a aluminium bracket that can handle 500N (50kg). You will see how to create a design space and add the functional regions. Then you will create a mesh, add loads and constraints and run a structural simulation. After that you will setup the topology optimization parameters and run the job. The result will be a lighter version of the part. you can run another simulation to validate the result. The organic geometry will be automatically generated. This result can be used for 3D Printed. However if you do not have a 3D Printer, it is also possible to generate a prismatic solid based on machining rules. Hope you will enjoy this video!

I have realised, that we never disclosed any solution to this challenge: https://grabcad.com/groups/weekly-challenge-group/discussions/3-step-max so here comes a complete tutorial on how I did it. Even though the model is only 3 steps, it contains 7 features and the tutorial use 27 steps, because there are some necessary extra steps needed to make it work in my ancient (but expensive) Solidworks 2014. You will learn some essential tricks such as 'Fit Spline' along the way and maybe eventually see 'The Light©'.

Topology Optimization is a very powerful tool used to reduce the weight of a component for usage in high-end applications. For example, each part of a Formula One car is optimized as much as it can be optimized using such tools. The tutorial is an example of carrying out the optimization of a bracket using Fusion 360.

SOLIDWORKS Simulation - Topology Optimization

NonCad Keys
in Process Simulation
0 0 Intermediate
In simplest terms, a topology study uses an iterative algorithm to run a design optimization loop that generates the best possible shape based on the information you specify, such as loads, constraints, boundary conditions, and manufacturing controls. Instead of spending time creating a model, you can use the topology-optimized model as a starting point or reference, saving you time while simultaneously improving performance. You can also use topology studies to explore new ideas and varying design options, and help refine your designs by letting you know where to add material and where to take it away. Topology Optimization with SOLIDWORKS enables you to: * Create smaller, lighter-weight components * Modulate part stiffness * Design for additive or subtractive manufacturing * Automate the meshing process * Run the optimization loop in the background #Solidworks #Simulation #topology #optimization @NonCADKeys

SOLIDWORKS Simulation - Parametric Optimization | Constraint = Mass | Goal = Minimum Mass

NonCad Keys
in FEM
0 0 Intermediate
You can create a Design Study to perform an optimization or evaluate specific scenarios of your design. The Design Study offers a uniform workflow for the Optimization and Evaluation studies. You can work on a number of problems by using a design study. You can: * Define multiple variables using any simulation parameter, or driving global variable. * Define multiple constraints using sensors. * Define multiple goals using sensors. * Analyze models without simulation results. For example, you can minimize the mass of an assembly with the variables, density and model dimensions, and with the constraint, volume. * Evaluate design choices by defining a parameter that sets bodies to use different materials as a variable.
