Material and Topology Optimization
|
Alcoa Automotive Engineering has background with several Finite Element structural optimization tools.
-
Topology optimization tools are used to optimize the architecture for structural performance with the least mass possible. This method works particularly well for locating body members or designing castings.
- Beam and shell models may be used with multiple loadcases to generate "optimum" section properties and thicknesses for various members.
