Topology Optimization is an advanced simulation process employed to systematically remove unnecessary material from components, thereby ensuring maximum efficiency in the component during the development phase across various sectors such as Automotive, Mechanical, Industrial, Aerospace and Defence. This method focuses on optimizing design criteria, including frequency, stress, durability and stiffness.
\nBy adding shape Optimization and parametric design tools, we can significantly enhance robustness and manufacturability. Traditional manufacturing methods struggled to produce optimized structures due to their complex geometrical shapes. However, parametric design allows us to explore the best design variants among numerous solutions, while also evaluating different manufacturing capabilities of the optimized product.
\nA literature review that provides an overview of the fundamental mathematical and numerical simulation representations of Optimization procedures as utilized in Simulation Software. A Suspension Rocker (bell crank) from a Formula Student Car is used as a simulation model to demonstrate these optimization techniques.
