Topography Optimization using Hypermesh [Optistruct Tutorial]

In this video, I have demonstrated the complete process to perform Topography Optimization analysis using Hypermesh and Optistruct. Topography optimization is widely used in the Aerospace and Automotive industry for design of high performance brackets and mounts.

The pre-processing of the sheet metal component is done using Hypermesh with Optistruct user profile. The solver used for this optimization is Optistruct. The post-processing of results is done using Hyperview. The topography shape change and corresponding deformation patterns are observed.
Manufacturing and symmetry constraints have been applied to make the optimized design feasible for production.

HELLO, NICE VID, IS THERE ANY CHANCE U CAN HELP ME WITH SOME PROJECT, I WANT TO DO TOPOGRAPHY OPTIMIZATION ON A CONTROL ARM OF A 2008 VOLKSWAGEN GOL ?!

I want to perform topography Optimization with increasing the frequency and reducing the mass. Can you please suggest me which objective and constraints I need to give in the model.

Thank you for showing another informative analysis.
A quick question, is the shape change contour result (thickness plot?) based on the bead parameter with the draw height of 4.0 mm? In other words, will the result be different if you change it to 5 or 6.0 mm, perhaps with the smaller width? It's good to see you can minimize the deformation about 1/10 by doing this. I know the topography optimization is not objective to weight reduction only but did you also see any positive effects on weight/stress with the optimized result?

Can topography optimization be applied to solid parts? I could not. I wanted to increase the stiffness. Also, your videos are very explain. Thanks.

Hey Swapnil, Great work!
Can u explain the difference between topology and topography optimization techniques?
