A preliminary design tool to generate optimal
design concepts
• An optimization tool for weight reduction
and performance tuning of concept and
existing designs
• A robust and accurate finite element solver
for linear structural analysis

TOPOLOGY 2D MATERIAL DOWNSCALING
• Time consuming because fine mesh needed to respect the rib thickness
• 1 or 2 Step of 3D topology
• Fast simulation
• good method for panel
• More conceptual : give path loads
Draw Z - No hole
• Approximate approach
• usefull for big design space

Is it permissible for an isotropic material model with linear and static load
cases, an interpretation of possibly dynamically loaded plastic components
to make?
