DEP Japan List of Products and Services

"ConceptWorks" is a tool developed for CAE engineers that enables the creation of conceptual components (members and joints) without the need for CAD. After 3 to 4 hours of training, users can easily create conceptual components without requiring special skills, making the tool accessible to engineers of any level. Additionally, by using this product, CAE engineers can quickly verify suitable designs in the upstream stages of design without involving designers. [Advantages] ■ It can automatically and rapidly create CAE models with members, braces, and joints from limited input from users. ■ It allows for modifications of existing elements, mesh elements, and parameterized elements using a computer user interface. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of the all-in-one CAE platform "DEP MeshWorks" that our company handles, implemented by a major automobile manufacturer. They faced the challenge of reducing the weight of the existing SUV product line (a significant amount achievable during manufacturing) without compromising performance, with minimal packaging and component changes. To address this, we conducted a three-phase approach consisting of baseline evaluation, parameterization using MeshWorks, and optimization. Through the multi-disciplinary optimization/design exploration (MDO) method using MeshWorks, we contributed to a weight reduction of approximately 10 kg for the existing SUV platform. 【Case Study】 ■Challenge - Reduce the weight of the existing SUV product line (a significant amount achievable during manufacturing) - Achieve optimal lightweighting of the vehicle's BIW and chassis ■Proposal - A three-phase approach consisting of baseline evaluation, parameterization using MeshWorks, and optimization *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of the all-in-one CAE platform "DEP MeshWorks" that our company handles, implemented by major automotive manufacturers in North America. The customer was interested in our solution to achieve the challenge of reducing the weight of an SUV while maintaining performance targets by using parameterization of thickness and shape. The main method we proposed was a Design of Experiments (DOE) based multi-domain optimization/design exploration using "DEP MeshWorks" and CAD morphing. The multi-domain optimization/design exploration method based on parameterization using MeshWorks successfully reduced the weight by approximately 12% while meeting all performance targets. [Case Study] ■Challenge - Reduce the weight of the SUV while maintaining performance targets - Provide the optimized CAD model to the design team ■Proposal - DOE-based multi-domain optimization/design exploration using MeshWorks and CAD morphing *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
