Topology optimization is a software-based method that helps in reducing extra material that isn’t necessary to the overall function of a product, by analysing stress distribution and the amount of strain energy.

By building lightweight yet strong products, engineers can guarantee that their designs are not just durable, but also can be produced while keeping costs under control and on-time.

To effectively implement the topology optimization technique during the concept design stage, design engineers must have a certain level of specialized knowledge and expertise

The Optimization Module, an add-on to COMSOL Multiphysics®, provides engineers with a user-friendly interface that simplifies the topology optimization process and makes it accessible to engineers and designers at all levels of experience.

During this webinar, we will discuss the Optimization Module and how it can be used to create optimized designs that meet performance goals in both a time and cost-effective manner.

You will learn how to:

• Build a model that solves a structural/acoustical shape optimization problem.
• Optimize topology in COMSOL Multiphysics®.
• Apply topology optimization to microfluidics and acoustics scenarios.
• Judge the ideal coil positions using advanced features in the Optimization Module.
• Export geometry results for further analysis and 3D printing.

Agenda:

• Introduction to the Optimization Module
• Topology optimization
• Finding optimal coil distribution
• Shape optimization of tweeter horn
• Tesla microvalve optimization
• Further resources

Please allow approximately 60 minutes to attend the presentation and Q&A session.
