Popis: Nowadays, CAD and FEM software are widely used in optimal production of the parts in the automotive industry. The paper presents the topology optimization of an engine control arm used in building of a new oil properties testing bench. After a brief introduction regarding the CAD modelling and topology optimization are presented the graphical design techniques in order to draw the tridimensional model of engine control arm using SolidWorks software. The second part of the paper shows the topology optimization methodology, including the load case creation, objective function, design parameters and the generation of the optimized model of the engine arm. The results of this study give an optimal design of the engine control arm; it will have a lower weight compared to the initial model.
