Recent Advancements on Non-Parametric Optimization with Tosca Structure

How can you take your non-parametric optimization workflows to the next level?

Tosca Structure + Abaqus/Standard in combination gives a multitude of new and advanced opportunities, such as transient bead and shape optimization, optimization of composite structures with user defined failure criteria, optimization of fatigue like workflows with new built in design responses, optimization of hyperelastic 2D planar and axisymmetric structures etc.

Several application examples will be shown on those and more topics.

Highlights:

• Inertia relief loading for 3D linear optimization applications
• Designing using multiple user defined failure criteria 
• Several new elemental design response:
  - First principle stress and Signed von Mises stress
  - Neuber and Glinka for plasticity corrections
• Transient Bead and Shape optimization 
• Highly non-linear 2D-planar & axisymmetric using H- and M-elements for shape optimization of e.g. rubber seals
