[Technical Column] The Theory of OPTISHAPE-TS: "Waving Phenomenon"

The Difficulty of Nonparametric Optimization! Introduction to a Technical Column

In the previous discussion, I explained that the checkerboard phenomenon is a challenging issue in topology optimization. I also discussed the technique of filtering as a workaround, but highlighted the difficulty in finding the right balance. A completely different approach has been proposed to avoid the checkerboard pattern without modifying the optimization problem. The idea is to have design variables at the nodes rather than at the elements, and to interpolate within the elements using a C^0 continuous function. Please feel free to download and take a look.

[Column] The Theory of OPTISHAPE-TS: Checkerboard Phenomenon

I will explain the difficulties of non-parametric optimization from another perspective!

In the previous sections, we explained that in non-parametric optimization, the number of design variables to be determined is large, meaning that the dimensionality of the space to be explored is high, which is why optimization algorithms using sensitivity are employed. In this article, we will further explain the difficulties of non-parametric optimization from another perspective. Please feel free to download and take a look.

[Example] Efficiency improvement of repetitive calculations using the super element function.

Reduce the computational load of large-scale models!! It can also be utilized for information security!!

**Case Overview** ■Product Name: Simcenter Femap with Nastran ■Industry: Mechanical Components The super-element feature of Simcenter Nastran reduces computational load by dividing large models for analysis or by simplifying parts of the model (external super-elements), thus making the analysis model smaller and shortening computation time when changes are made to other parts. In this case, we validated the analysis accuracy and evaluated the reduction in computation time by simplifying the unchanged boss section as an external super-element and analyzing it in conjunction with the mesh model of the blade section during the eigenvalue design of the fan blades. This method saves computation time, especially in design phases where performance evaluations and repeated calculations at the component level are common, and the more unchanged parts there are, the more significant the benefits. Additionally, by converting in-house component models into super-elements and providing them to other companies, the shapes can be treated as black boxes, thus enhancing information security. □ For other features and details, please refer to the catalog.

[RecurDyn Case Study] Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.

A case where it was found that high load and high stress occurred in drilling operations that were not anticipated by using actual data.

We would like to introduce a case where our "RecurDyn" was implemented at Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd., which is engaged in the manufacturing and sales of construction machinery. The introduction of our product was prompted by the idea that if we could effectively use data obtained from sensors at the site of ultra-large excavators, we could evaluate the structures even without being present. After the implementation, we are utilizing our product to conduct coupled analysis of mechanisms and structural analysis for strength evaluation of the boom and arm of front structures known as loader type and backhoe type. 【Case Overview】 ■ Reason for Implementation: We believed that if we could completely reproduce the loads, postures, and movements obtained from sensors at the site in a simulation model, we could understand the stresses on the structures. ■ Results - The analysis accuracy has reached nearly 90%. - Due to the fast computation time, we are able to grasp loads in various postures. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

[Structural Analysis Example] Forging Analysis

The "MPP version of LS-DYNA" offers a remeshing feature that takes into account the density of the mesh!

In calculations involving large deformations, such as forging analysis, remeshing during the computation process is effective. In the standard remeshing function of LS-DYNA, the parts subject to remeshing are uniformly remeshed regardless of areas with large or small deformations, which can lead to a significant increase in the number of elements and potentially longer computation times. On the other hand, the "MPP version of LS-DYNA" offers a remeshing function that takes into account the density of the mesh. This allows for efficient progress in calculations involving large deformations. 【Features of MPP version LS-DYNA】 ■ Remeshing function that considers the density of the mesh is available ■ Efficiently advance calculations involving large deformations *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

[ASU/V-Struct Implementation Case] Kawanishi Industrial Co., Ltd.

Technical data presentation in progress! Practical application of simulation technology for improving the automotive headlining molding process.

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of the structural analysis software 'ASU/V-Struct' at Kawanishi Industrial Co., Ltd., a global comprehensive manufacturer. At the company, due to the viscoelastic nature of the headlining (ceiling material) molding, it was difficult to make predictions through simulations, resulting in significant time and costs for evaluations using actual parts, which posed challenges to development speed. After the implementation, factors related to moldability were identified, and pre-simulation evaluations became possible, leading to a significant improvement in production stability, with almost no need for rework after molding. Details of the expected effects of CAE and the development overview can be found in the PDF document, so please take a look. [Challenges] ■ Significant time and costs incurred for evaluations using actual parts ■ Increased demand for further improvement in development speed *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

CAE: Material property settings in the plastic domain

Approximate the plasticity domain with a single straight line! We will use a method called "two-line approximation" to reduce computation time.

Many resins have properties in both the elastic region and the plastic region. In the elastic region, the strain returns to zero when the stress is removed, resulting in linear behavior. However, in the plastic region, the strain does not return to zero when the stress is removed, leading to nonlinear behavior. To perform calculations in the nonlinear region during structural analysis, it is necessary to input material properties. However, inputting properties for the nonlinear region requires entering strain values for each stress point, which is quite cumbersome. Additionally, the computation time becomes longer. To simplify the input of material properties, we use a method called "two-line approximation" to shorten the computation time. This approach replaces the properties of the resin from the yield point to the fracture point with a single straight line (tangent modulus). This method is particularly suitable for quickly checking design values in models with a large number of elements and significant computational scale. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*

Utilization examples / Gatepost analysis * Model creation (M-Φ Fiber model)

Static and dynamic analysis of important related structures of dams, such as gate pillars and weirs! Structural analysis software 'ISCEF' suitable for civil engineering structures.

We would like to introduce a case study on the use of the structural analysis software 'ISCEF', which is suitable for civil engineering structures. The gatepost is the part that serves as the pillar for the gate and the superstructure. If the gatepost itself is damaged, it will become impossible to open and close the gate, leading to an inability to adjust the water level, which in the worst-case scenario could result in the collapse of the dam. Therefore, improvements in seismic resistance are required for this important related structure of the dam. Our company undertakes tasks such as creating models of gateposts (M-Φ model, fiber model), conducting capacity analysis using the horizontal load-bearing method, and performing dynamic analysis. 【Gatepost Analysis】 ■ Eigenvalue Analysis ■ Static and Dynamic Analysis *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
