Structural simulation of mixed solid and lattice optimization results. Image courtesy of Altair.Applied at the beginning of clean-sheet design programs and for design exploration of current production parts, Inspire Simulation-driven design software allows designers and engineers to:
- rapidly assemble and simulate dynamic mechanical systems to automatically resolve loads on system components for optimization and analysis;
- generate weight-efficient design proposals unique to specified conventional or additive manufacturing processes with Altair’s topology optimization technology;
- simulate the performance of competing design concepts for static loads, normal modes and buckling and
- directly export Inspire CAD geometry to 3D printers to produce quality parts.
- generate optimized lattice and mixed solid - lattice structures, visualize Simulation results in 3D, and export lattice designs in .stl file format for 3D printing;
- view and interactively assign loads to load cases and import / export design loads in .csv file format with the new Load Cases Table;
- design for additive manufacturing with overhang shape controls to help reduce overhangs to create more self-supporting structures and
- automatically optimize the fit of PolyNURBS CAD geometry to generative design results with the new PolyNURBS Fit Tool.
