Abstract

Structural optimization enables the product developer to compute a lightweight design proposal of a considered component during the design process. If topology optimization is integrated as early as possible in the product development process, the design engineer will act more and more frequently as a simulation engineer. To support the product developer to use topology optimization successfully in a methodical way, the paper focuses on the development of an extended design guideline during a design study.

Keywords: topology optimization, CAE, CAD, initial design proposal, design methodology
