OptiStruct(tm) is an optimization tool which synthesizes concepts or layout based on finite element methods. OptiStruct(tm) uses topology optimization and has the unique capability to create conceptual designs given only a finite element model of package space, load cases and boundary conditions, and an estimate or target of available material.
Unlike the traditional approach to shape or size optimization, OptiStruct(tm) does not require an initial design as input. OptiStruct(tm) synthesizes the optimal layout during conceptual design, when the greatest as input.
