Topology Optimization

Topology optimization is an analysis that reveals how materials should be placed in the design usable space to achieve the optimal structure. Given the design space, loading conditions, constraints, and constraints, it calculates the arrangement of materials that maximizes the desired performance index. The optimal shape is found for the product use environment and specifications assumed in the design space model.
However, when actually designing a product based on the results of Topology optimization, considerable improvements are required.At Asahi Kasei, we use the results of Topology optimization to take into account the appropriate pull direction of the mold used in injection molding, and are able to calculate the optimal rib shape that is neither too thin nor too thick.
