Lightweight design considering the generated stress and the thickness of the member. Here is an example of applying shape optimization to the table leg.

Here, we will perform shape optimization on the table legs, minimizing the volume while ensuring that the Mises stress does not exceed a specified value. In shape optimization, we can optimize based on Mises stress or maximum principal stress. Additionally, by applying symmetry conditions, we will conduct the analysis using a quarter model of the entire structure. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*

HiramekiWorks" is a structural optimization design software equipped with both "topology optimization functions" and "shape optimization functions.

Topology optimization is useful for the initial layout design of products due to its nature of creating holes in the model. On the other hand, shape optimization modifies the surface shape of the model, allowing for the evaluation of not only rigidity but also stress, making it beneficial for the detailed design of products. In this case, after performing topology optimization on the lower arm to determine the layout shape, shape optimization is conducted on the resulting solid model to obtain a detailed shape that meets rigidity and Mises stress constraints. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*

HiramekiWorks" is a structural optimization design software that includes both "topology optimization functions" and "shape optimization functions.

Topology optimization is a method that expresses the optimal shape based on the density distribution of materials while keeping the mesh of the analysis model fixed. Here, we perform topology optimization with "mirror symmetry" set for the monitor arm, seeking an optimal shape that is highly rigid and symmetrical under four different analysis conditions. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*

"HiramekiWorks" is a structural optimization design software that features both "topology optimization" and "shape optimization" functions.

In shape optimization, you can set a "designable area" as a manufacturing constraint. By using this feature, you can limit shape changes to ensure that they do not extend beyond the specified designable area. Additionally, even if the initial shape already extends beyond the area, you can modify the shape to fit within the designated area. Here, we will perform shape optimization for link components with a set "designable area," minimizing the volume while keeping the maximum displacement below the constraint value and within the bounds of the designable area. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*

"HiramekiWorks" is a structural optimization design software that features both "topology optimization" and "shape optimization" functions.

Topology optimization using the level set method can yield clear optimal structures without grayscale. Additionally, it provides results that accurately satisfy the given volume constraints, allowing busy designers to utilize structural optimization in product design more easily, without struggling to interpret the optimization results. Here, we present an example of applying topology optimization using the level set method in the structural examination of delivery drones. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*

Are you making progress on measures for the "2024 Problem"? With stricter management of drivers' working hours, reducing "waiting time" has become an urgent issue in the logistics field. To address this challenge, our company, Hotron, proposes the "Vehicle Detection Ultrasonic Sensor 'HM-UX2'," which instantly grasps the availability of loading bays. The 'HM-UX2' contributes to the resolution of waiting times by accurately understanding the availability situation, reducing unnecessary waiting and queueing, and shortening waiting times to alleviate the burden on drivers! By replacing the "eyes" of your loading bay management with this high-precision sensor, why not start addressing the "2024 Problem"? Take a look at the product features: "Can it accurately detect availability?" "Can we really use it in our company?" "I just want to know the cost, even if it's an estimate." If you have any questions or requests, please feel free to consult with us.
