[Case Study] Analysis of Complex Shape Models - Reducing Labor Costs -

"VOXELCON" is a structural analysis software that directly models STL data from CT and CAD for analysis and measurement purposes.

When creating an analysis model by mesh partitioning from a detailed CAD model created as design data, the following issues can be noted: - The number of elements becomes enormous, leading to high computational costs. - Mesh partitioning is difficult and requires the tips and techniques of experienced users. Additionally, the analysis results depend on the mesh partitioning. - In some cases, automatic element partitioning is not possible. However, even if you try to analyze using a simplified shape... - The effort required for simplification is significant. - Evaluating the impact of simplification on analysis accuracy is cumbersome. These issues can be resolved by VOXELCON's voxel mesh generation technology. Even complex shapes can be easily converted into analysis models, reducing the man-hours required for analysis. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

[Example] Shape optimization to match the natural frequency with experimental measurement results.

Efficiently considering multiple constraints, control the eigenvalues of automotive brake components!

We present an example of analysis applying the non-parametric shape optimization function of "OPTISHAPE-TS," which employs an algorithm based on the smoothing gradient method (force method) to match multiple natural frequencies in automotive brake components. The optimization conditions were set to target natural vibration modes from the 7th to the 21st, aiming to match their natural frequencies to specified target values (considering MAC values) while keeping the volume unchanged. As a result, a final shape was obtained where each eigenvalue and volume matched their respective constraint values with an accuracy within 0.01%. In this case, the control of eigenvalues was performed using specified initial shape ratios, but analyses can also be conducted using absolute values or by combining other controls such as nodal positions of natural vibration modes and frequency response. This can also be utilized for eigenvalue control and resonance avoidance. For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

[Case Study] Shape optimization of an arm considering layout constraints due to component interference.

Shape optimization is suitable for improvements from existing shapes! A case that achieved approximately 40% weight reduction.

We will introduce a case of arm optimization considering interference conditions. To obtain a shape that does not interfere with the area, we create a mesh of the designable region. By designating this model as the "deviation specification area," we optimize it to achieve a shape that does not protrude from this area (does not deviate). As a result, we obtained a lightweight shape that meets various constraints without deviating from the specified area. Shape optimization is suitable for improvements from existing shapes, and by adding multiple constraints such as stress constraints and manufacturing requirements, it is possible to conduct more detailed examinations. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

Example: Press Processing - Optimization of Press Processing Conditions

Optimize the pressing conditions to improve wrinkle height and strain.

Press processing is a method used in the manufacturing of various industrial products, including automobiles. Since this press processing is often used for mass-produced products, it is desirable to carefully examine the processing conditions in advance using CAE. In this case, we optimized the processing conditions by linking the general-purpose parameter optimization software "AMDESS" with the explicit dynamic analysis software "Abaqus/Explicit Student Edition" (from SIMULIA, USA). We added recommended points based on the density of the data points we had previously investigated! We took measures to avoid falling into local solutions. As a result, we achieved a maximum equivalent plastic strain reduction of 9% while satisfying all constraints. [Analysis Model] ■Blank - Number of nodes: 505 - Number of elements: 400 - Young's modulus: 2.1×10^11 [Pa] - Poisson's ratio: 0.3 *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Example: Material Data Correlation - Identification of Heat Transfer Coefficient

We identify parameters that change with environmental and analytical conditions. Not only the heat transfer coefficient but also the stress-strain curve in elastoplastic analysis can be identified!

The heat transfer coefficient depends on the surrounding environment and is not unique to the material, making it difficult to determine its value. If a heat transfer coefficient that can reproduce the measurement results can be identified, it is expected that good simulation results can be obtained for another model under similar environmental conditions. In this case, the general-purpose parameter optimization software "AMDESS" was linked with "Nastran" to identify the heat transfer coefficient. As a result, the temperature at the evaluation points matched the target value within an error of 0.3%, and the heat transfer coefficients for each surface were obtained. 【Optimization Conditions】 ■ Design Variables - Heat transfer coefficients for each surface (h1 to h6) - Range: 10.0 to 70.0 [W/m²K] ■ Objective Function: Minimize the squared error from the target temperature at each evaluation point = Bring the calculated temperature closer to the specified target temperature *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

[Example] Topology optimization considering manufacturing requirements

Initial design proposals and significant contributions to cost reduction! Introducing topology density variation limitation functions such as 'cross-section'!

Topology optimization is a method for determining the necessity or redundancy of materials (member layout) that contributes to lightweight and high-rigidity product design by seeking structures that maximize rigidity under a certain weight limit. While it allows for significant structural changes compared to the initial structure, it can also result in outcomes that are difficult to manufacture or lead to complex structures with high manufacturing costs. To avoid such situations, the topology optimization in 'OPTISHAPE-TS' utilizes a topology density variation limitation function, enabling optimization while satisfying manufacturing requirements.

[Example] Shape optimization using multiple reduced-order models.

Achieved approximately 27% weight reduction! Introducing a method for shape optimization that simultaneously considers multiple mechanical conditions.

In mechanical components with mechanisms like links, the arrangement of surrounding parts can change depending on their operational status, which may also alter the mechanical conditions experienced by the component. When designing such mechanical components, it is necessary to consider multiple mechanical conditions simultaneously. "OPTISHAPE-TS" provides various functions for optimization that take these multiple mechanical conditions into account at the same time. Here, we will introduce a method for shape optimization that considers multiple mechanical conditions simultaneously by using several reduced-order models and switching between them during analysis.

[Example] Shape optimization considering stress

Using "OPTISHAPE-TS"! Introducing optimization cases with different stress constraints based on model parts.

In strength design, stress serves as an important guideline. When performing strength assessments based on stress, it is necessary to change the evaluation stress values according to different parts, not just relying on the maximum value. In such cases, by specifying constraint stress values for each region, it is possible to obtain an optimal shape that constrains stress at multiple evaluation points and all locations. This time, we will introduce an optimization case that applies different stress constraints based on the model's parts.

[Case Study] Accuracy Verification of Stress Using Finite Covering Method (FCM)

Compared to the finite element method (FEM)! Verified with models using three patterns of voxel sizes.

Finite element analysis using voxels has the advantage of being easy to operate, fast, and not incurring human costs; however, it also has the disadvantage of causing stress wave phenomena. To eliminate this disadvantage, we apply the Finite Covering Method (FCM) to improve analysis accuracy. Here, we will verify how the analysis accuracy is improved by using the Finite Covering Method (FCM) while changing the mesh size and comparing it with the Finite Element Method (FEM).

[Case Study] Accuracy Verification of Displacement and Temperature Using Finite Covering Method (FCM)

I will introduce the issues with voxel analysis and a case study applying FCM as a solution!

The displacement solution of static stress analysis, or the temperature solution of steady-state heat conduction analysis, generally does not produce significant errors as long as the shape is accurately represented. However, there are cases where errors can become substantial. When the original shape does not match the voxel pitch, discrepancies in the shape occur. Therefore, to achieve better accuracy in the analysis, it is necessary to refine the mesh, which increases the model size. Here, we will introduce a case study applying FCM as a solution to this issue. 【Contents】 ■ Overview - Issues with voxel analysis ■ Analysis Model - Boundary conditions ■ Analysis Results - Static stress analysis / Steady-state heat conduction analysis *Detailed information about the case study can be viewed through the related links.

Example: Injection Molding - Reducing clamping force to downsize the molding machine.

We will collaborate with 3D TIMON to explore gate positions that can be injected even with small molding machines, thereby reducing production costs.

Optimizing molding conditions parametrically in resin flow analysis can be relatively easily achieved, but automatically changing the shape of the cavity and the arrangement of the runner while optimizing is challenging. To facilitate these optimizations, we developed "AMDESS for 3D TIMON" in collaboration with Toray Engineering Co., Ltd.

[Technical Column] The Theory of OPTISHAPE-TS: "Wave Phenomenon"

The Difficulty of Nonparametric Optimization! Introduction to a Technical Column

In the previous discussion, I explained that the checkerboard phenomenon is a challenging issue in topology optimization. I also discussed a technique called filtering as a workaround, but highlighted the difficulty in finding the right balance for its application. Additionally, a completely different approach has been proposed to avoid the checkerboard pattern without modifying the optimization problem. This idea involves using design variables at the nodes rather than at the elements, and interpolating within elements using a C^0 continuous function. Please feel free to download and take a look.
