Weight reduction of press dies
ADVENTURECluste also supports topology optimization. It is possible to propose the optimal layout within a limited design domain. When performing topology optimization at the initial stage of product development or when a major design change is involved, it is possible to obtain a rough design proposal. In this analysis, the optimal shape was derived by removing elements that had no effect on rigidity. It is widely used by customers who aim to reduce the weight and cost of their products.

Background/Issues
Optimization calculations take time because they require multiple repeated calculations.
Analytical Needs
Achieving a balance between light weight and strength and rigidity of the product.
Advantages
High-speed solvers enable high caiculation load models to be calculated quickly.
Non-parametric
Optimization features available at no extra cost
