Popis: Through continuous topology optimization the design within product development of structural loaded components is enhanced by using maximized lightweight potential. At the same time the product development process is accelerated due to a reduced number of design cycles. Because topology optimization yields an optimized material distribution, the designer is not required anymore to iteratively work out the basical geometric shape. However, optimized material distribution itself neither follows design rules, nor does it provide parametric relations within parts. Instead, a redesign has to be done in order to fulfill manufacturing requirements and to obtain a parametric CADmodel. This takes effort in time and expert knowledge.
