Structural Optimization in Ansys MechanicalTopology optimization is the numerical technique used to obtain the optimal layout of structural components by determining the areas of the parts that can be removed to maximize stiffness while reducing weight and keeping maximum stress below a certain value. This method is becoming more popular due to improvements made in additive manufacturing and the 3D printing process. It is now much easier to produce parts having complex and organic-looking shapes through topology optimization. |
