Presentation
Abstract
The ability to set up parametric design changes on CAE models is a key enabler for a quick turnaround in the optimization process. It avoids the expensive cycle time in getting the requested design changes from the design engineers for evaluation of the new designs. A parametric CAE model is the backbone of the optimization process. This approach would only be worthwhile if it meets the following conditions. The parametric model setup process must:
- Be easy and quick to setup
- Cover shape design variables using morphing techniques
- Cover model definition design variables
- Be able to be executed in an automated batch process
- Be robust in producing error free designs
- Support additional process actions through scripting
- Satisfy strict quality criteria that will allow for an accurate and robust simulation
In this webinar, we will demonstrate morphing and optimization functionalities of the pre-processor ANSA and post-processor META as applied to typical aerospace models. We will address topics like:
- Parametric shape morphing for FE and geometry structures/surfaces using morph boxes
- Parametric modifications of features like Beads, Stamps, and Openings
- Setting up optimization task for batch DOE and Optimization runs
- Setting up topology optimization
- Advanced morphing and concept design tools
