[Case Study] Shape optimization of an arm considering layout constraints due to component interference.
Shape optimization is suitable for improvements from existing shapes! A case that achieved approximately 40% weight reduction.
We will introduce a case of arm optimization considering interference conditions. To obtain a shape that does not interfere with the designated area, we create a mesh of the designable region. By specifying this model as the "deviation designated area," we optimize the shape to ensure it does not extend beyond this region (does not deviate). As a result, we achieved a lightweight shape that meets various constraints without deviating from the specified area. Shape optimization is suitable for improving existing shapes, and by adding multiple constraints such as stress constraints and manufacturing requirements, it is possible to conduct more detailed examinations. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
