Generally, the measuring instruments used in reverse engineering can be broadly classified into devices that measure the external surface and those that measure not only the external surface but also the interior of the object. In the former category, laser scanners and digitizers have been put into practical use, while in the latter category, X-ray CT scanners are utilized. One advantage of using X-ray CT scanners is that they allow for the observation of the internal condition without destroying the product. Here, as an example of non-destructive testing, we will introduce a case of observing the state of cavities (voids) that occur inside a product.

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.

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.

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.

Weld lines can become an issue of strength and design depending on their location. To control the occurrence of weld lines, it is generally known that changing the gate position, resin temperature, mold temperature, and holding pressure can be effective. In this case, the general-purpose parameter optimization software "AMDESS" was linked with the plastic injection molding CAE software "3D TIMON" developed by Toray Engineering Co., Ltd., to optimize the gate position so that weld lines do not occur in the specified area. As a result, by changing the gate position, we were able to shift the weld lines away from the designated area. [Results] - By changing the gate position, we were able to shift the weld lines away from the specified area. - The approximation of the objective function improved with each addition of accuracy enhancement proposals. - The effectiveness of the accuracy enhancement proposals was also confirmed. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

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.

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.

We would like to introduce a case study on the optimization of fillet shapes aimed at stress reduction. Taking manufacturing requirements into account, we sought a shape that minimizes stress while maintaining a uniform R shape. As a result, due to the axial symmetry setting, we were able to alleviate stress while preserving symmetry. Typically, when evaluating and optimizing localized stress, the shape does not remain symmetrical. However, with "OPTISHAPE-TS," it is possible to optimize while considering symmetry, allowing for changes in shape while maintaining the symmetry of the R shape, as demonstrated in this case. 【Case Overview】 ■ Analysis Model - Elements: Tetrahedral second-order elements - Number of elements: 220,782 - Number of nodes: 324,937 ■ Result: Due to the axial symmetry setting, stress was alleviated while maintaining symmetry. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

For rotating parts such as wheels, advanced design is required that takes into account not only mechanical properties like rigidity, strength, and vibration characteristics, but also various manufacturing requirements and aesthetic considerations. Here, we present a case study of a motorcycle road wheel that was designed with manufacturing requirements in mind to achieve weight reduction. We established a Multi-Point Constraint (MPC) to maintain rotational symmetry while considering manufacturing requirements such as "the overall shape must be moldable" and "must have a certain minimum wall thickness." First, we created an initial model that is 1/3 periodic symmetric using rotational copying. Then, we added load and constraint conditions, outputting the data as Nastran data, and created and added the MPC for maintaining rotational symmetry using the post-processor TS Studio. As a result, we achieved approximately an 11% weight reduction while maintaining a rotationally symmetric shape. 【Case Summary】 ■ Analysis Model: Road Wheel ■ Result: Achieved approximately 11% weight reduction *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

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.
