Structural Techniques for Mass Reduction in Ansys<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Massive increases in rigidity and bulk reduction clearly outperform traditional design approaches.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

TopOpt’s Mass Reduction Method<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The ideal material distribution in a predetermined design space is automatically determined through topology optimization. This is illustrated by illustrating the potential for improvement in traditionally built cast structures using an existing centerless grinding machine as an example. It was necessary to lower the mass from the current building by a third.<\/p>\n

Mechanical Mass Reduction & Structural Solutions<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In both parts, the bulk might be reduced by about a third when compared to carriages of more traditional design. However, depending on the load scenario, stiffness improved by 80 to 675% (measured at the bearing shells).<\/p>\n

How Clients Benefit from Mass Reduction Adoption<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Castable structures can be developed whose molding box can be made, for instance, on a CNC milling machine, by restricting the optimization to observe the pertinent manufacturing limits. Massive increases in rigidity and bulk reduction clearly outperform traditional design approaches.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
