TOSCA Structure.smooth
The transfer of the optimization results back into the CAD system is needed to close the process chain in virtual product development. Further the changed geometry has to be validated before design changes are performed.
TOSCA Structure.smooth prepares the results of the optimization for the import in CAD systems or a validation run and thus allows for an efficient implementation of design changes in the product development process.
Design space of an engine bracket - Start model for topology optimization
Engine bracket after topology optimization - discrete "building block" model
Optimization result smoothed with TOSCA Structure.smooth
Optimized final design of the engine bracket
Your benefit:
- Prepare your optimization results for transfer into CAD, RP and to validation
- Close the gap between discrete simulation and CAD through smoothing of topology optimization results (trough calculation of iso surfaces of material distribution)
- Reduce data for faster transfer of models
- Implement your optimized designs quickly in CAD through direct import in CAD-readable formats
- Depict the essential of your design abstracted from discretization
