Lunch & Learn: New Topology Optimization Solution in MSC Nastran
Lunch & Learn: New Topology Optimization Solution in MSC Nastran
Date: March 5 | 12:00-12:45
Location: Hängpilsgatan 6, Västra Frölunda
Presenter: Magnus Andreasson, Senior Technical Specialist
We are excited to invite you to a special lunch and learn session where you will have the opportunity to explore the innovative world of MSC Nastran Topology Optimization. This 45-minute session is designed to introduce you to the powerful capabilities of MSC Nastran in optimizing structural designs both using the traditional Density method and the novel approach introduced in MSC Nastran 2024.2
MSC.Nastran is a powerful finite element analysis (FEA) software used for simulating and analyzing the behavior of structures and mechanical components. Its topology optimization feature is particularly useful for:
- Design Optimization: It helps engineers and designers optimize the material layout within a given design space, leading to innovative and efficient designs.
- Weight Reduction: By identifying and eliminating unnecessary material, it helps in reducing the weight of components while maintaining structural integrity and performance.
- Performance Enhancement: It allows for the improvement of structural performance by optimizing stiffness, natural frequencies, and other critical parameters.
The new optimization solver introduced in MSC Nastran 2024.2 have the following advantages over traditional methods:
- It is fast, especially utilizing GPU or MUMPS, and reliable.
- It can generate manufacturing-ready designs, including geometry and mesh for the optimized design space.
- It can connect to CAD systems.
What to Expect from this session:
- A brief overview of MSC Nastran's topology optimization features.
- An introduction to new methods for Topology optimization introduced in MSC Nastran 2024.2
- Examples of successful applications.
- Opportunities to ask questions and discuss potential applications in your projects.
Lunch will be provided, offering a great chance to network with peers and industry experts.
Please RSVP by February 28 to ensure we can accommodate everyone comfortably.
We look forward to seeing you there and exploring how MSC Nastran Topology Optimization can transform your design process!
