While Field Optimization offers novel capabilities in terms of performance optimization, you can use it in conjunction with traditional optimization strategies to design high-performing parts.
  • Use historical knowledge and basic engineering principles to apply manual shape optimization to design and import CAD parts to optimize with shapes, aiding optimal performance.
  • Run traditional topology optimizationon a part to approach an optimal shape before optimizing more complex parameters with Field Optimization.
See an example of this combined optimization approach in our blog post, Optimizing the mass and natural frequency of the NASA EXCITE bracket with Field Optimization.
