Achieve design efficiency on CAE! Significantly reduce man-hours by effectively utilizing existing models.

At IDAJ, we propose to enhance design efficiency on CAE by effectively utilizing Abaqus models. By making effective use of existing models, we can significantly reduce the man-hours required for preparing parametric model creation. When integrated with modeFRONTIER, we provide designers with "hints" for optimization to address the multi-objective optimization problems faced in design development. 【Features】 ■ Import Abaqus inp files and quickly modify shapes ■ No need to regenerate the mesh or reset boundary conditions after shape modification ■ Parameterization of shapes such as hex-mesh models that are difficult to generate automatically ■ No need for complex script preparation to build optimization systems ■ Support for optimal design considerations using cutting-edge optimization methods and experimental design techniques *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Achieve design efficiency on CAE through effective utilization of the Abaqus model!

By using the high-end mesh morphing program 'DEP Mesh Works/Morpher' to modify the shape based on the mesh of the Abaqus model, and by parameterizing it to build automation and optimization systems, we can effectively utilize existing models and significantly reduce the man-hours required for preparing parametric model creation. Furthermore, by integrating with the multi-purpose robust design optimization support tool 'modeFRONTIER', we provide designers with "hints" to understand the phenomenon of "what design is optimal and why" in response to multi-objective optimization problems faced in design development, such as weight reduction, minimum stress, and minimum displacement. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Integration of implicit and explicit methods. For elucidating a wide range of phenomena such as heat, electricity, magnetic fields, and fluids.

In nonlinear structural analysis, the three key nonlinearities are material, geometry, and boundary conditions. In recent design practices, there is a necessity to consider contact in assembly components using complex material models. Abaqus can accurately model not only classical metal material constitutive laws but also failure models due to rate dependence and polymers such as rubber and resin. Additionally, the innovative formulation of surface-to-surface contact achieves more robust convergence and higher analysis accuracy compared to other structural analysis tools. The general contact feature requires minimal user setup, significantly reducing the time needed to define contact in complex assemblies found in automobiles, aircraft, consumer electronics, and portable electronic devices.

We have added a new **"Glossary"** to the Hyper CLT sheet website. In the civil engineering and construction industries, there are many specialized terms such as "CLT," "NETIS," "temporary roads," and "wooden lightweight sheets." Therefore, we have introduced related terms in an easy-to-understand manner so that those who are encountering Hyper CLT sheets for the first time can understand the products and technologies. Hyper CLT sheets are wooden lightweight sheets for civil engineering that utilize wood CLT and are registered under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS technology as **"TH-250021-A."** We hope that by not only conveying the features of the product but also sharing the underlying technologies and terminology, users will feel a closer connection to Hyper CLT sheets. We will continue to enhance our website and provide clear information related to wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT.

Hotron Inc. has launched its new product, the "Vehicle Count Sensor CCS3"! This product is a ceiling-mounted sensor that combines infrared and radar technology. It reliably detects vehicles in both directions with a single unit, accommodating traffic during congestion and vehicle passing, thus achieving efficient occupancy management in large parking lots. Additionally, it can be utilized for exit warning purposes in addition to vehicle counting, contributing to the safe and smooth operation of parking facilities. 'Features' - Improved detection performance against changes in road surface during rainy weather by using both infrared and radar. - Equipped with IP67 waterproof and dustproof performance, making it effective even in salt damage areas. - Various settings can be configured from a dedicated app (for Android devices), with current settings easily understandable at a glance. - The base dimensions are the same as the previous model "CCS2," allowing for smooth replacement of existing equipment. *For more details, please refer to the product information, catalog download, or contact us.*

On September 15, 2026, we issued a press release regarding the wooden lightweight sheet "Hyper CLT Sheet." The Hyper CLT Sheet is a civil engineering sheet that utilizes CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) stacked in an orthogonal direction. It can be used in various locations such as temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, and material storage areas. The 5×10 version weighs approximately 230 kg, making it relatively lightweight and easy to install, remove, and relocate. Additionally, it offers environmental benefits such as reducing glare and metallic sounds typical of wood, as well as CO2 fixation. Furthermore, it can be proposed for the use of new technologies in public works as a **registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism "TH-250021-A."** Through this press release, we aim to expand the new wooden lightweight sheet that combines wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT to more construction sites.

● The production time for cast prototypes can be shortened! Since model making is not required, the production time for prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or varying dimensions, can be molded at the same time in one molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.
