Weight Optimization Using CAE
Employ optimization techniques to propose an optimal design...
Nowadays, automotive industry is continuing to strive for light weight vehicle in improving fuel efficiency and emissions reduction. To produce a better performance car it is important to design vehicles with optimum weight. In order to reduce the weight of vehicle without sacrificing its integrity, ELENO energy aims to employ optimization techniques to propose an optimal design of an automotive component in early phase of product development. Because FEM is a discretization method, the number of degrees of freedom of a FEM model is necessarily finite.
Advantages of CAE Techniques in Optimization
- CAE driven design allows engineers to see solutions that achieve multiple requirements simultaneously.
- Allows rapid iterations on design solutions
- Drive structure development such as efficient load paths
- Targeted optimization studies reduce mass and improve stiffness locally
Include FMVSS, ECE and AIS regulations for all M and N category vehicles. This provides a collaborative platform that enables optimal material consumption while increasing structural strength.
