Nuevo FEMAP V10.2 & NX Nastran 7.1 - Topology Optimization

La nueva versión de FEMAP V10.2 (presentada hoy 21 de Octubre, 2010 a nivel mundial) incluye como novedad un nuevo módulo de Análisis de Optimización Topológica Estructural No-Paramétrica que funciona en combinación con la nueva versión del solver NX NASTRAN 7.1.
Capacidades Generales:
• Topology optimization with NX Nastran for linear statics and normal modes analyses
• Pre- and postprocessing with Femap
• Based on best-in-class optimization system TOSCA Structure, by FE DESIGN GmbH
• 2D and 3D finite element meshes
• Linear and parabolic elements
• Areas easily defined by Femap groups
• Contact definitions within the FE model
• Consideration of multiple load cases
• No model parameterization necessary
• Stable and fast optimization algorithms
• Efficient handling of very large models

Optimization targets:
• Maximize stiffness with volume constraint
• Maximize the lowest eigenfrequency with volume constraint
• Minimize volume with displacement constraint

Manufacturing constraints:
• Demolding constraints for casting and forging components including consideration of stamping conditions and tightness
• Definition of one area for demolding constraint
• Parting plane definition: Midplane = none, auto, stamp, autotight
• Check Group all elements or design elements

Symmetry constraints:
• Definition of one symmetry constraint
• Plane or cyclic rotational symmetry Maximum wall thickness constraint
• Minimum wall thickness constraint
• Arbitrary number of frozen areas

Design smoothing:
• Automatic generation of smoothed isosurfaces of the material distribution following topology optimization
• Specification of the target volume for the isosurface calculation
• Export of isosurface as triangulated surface mesh
• STL data reduction for CAD transfer

Hello!,

yes, in fact, the topology optimization module is an ad-on for FEMAP V10.2, you need to purchase this new module in order to receive a new license code.

Best rgards,

Blas.

hi..I'm using FEMAP v10.2, however there is no topology optimization analysis option like yours..is the topology optimization analysis need a different add-on?
