Webinar: Structural Optimization | Speakers From VR&D

Design Studies and Process Integration using VisualDOC

Presenter: Dr. Phani Adduri, Technical Support Manager

July 30, 2020 at 3 pm (Romanian Time)

VisualDOC is VR&D's multidiscipline design studies and process integration software. It can be coupled with any analysis program to run design studies such as Optimization, DOE, meta-modeling, sensitivity analysis, etc & has interfaces to commercial programs including Ansys, Moldex3D, ANSA, META, Adams Car, among others. This webinar will introduce VisualDOC and demonstrate its capabilities using Ansys and Moldex3D interfaces.

Introduction of the structural optimization software GSAM for Ansys Mechanical

Presenter: Hong Dong, PhD.

July 9, 2020 at 3 pm (Romanian Time)

This webinar describes GSAM (GENESIS Structural Optimization for ANSYS Mechanical) which is an integration of the structural optimization software GENESIS® with ANSYS® Mechanical. This software brings the GENESIS optimization capabilities to the ANSYS environment.

GENESIS itself is a fully integrated FEA analysis and optimization software. The analysis types that GENESIS can optimize for include: static, modal, thermal, harmonic and random vibration. GENESIS optimization capabilities include topology, sizing, topometry, shape, topography and freeform.

With sizing and topometry the user can design cross-sectional dimensions of bars or beams, thickness of plates or shells and others. With topography or freeform optimization the user can generate optimal bead patterns or rib patterns on the surface of the parts.

The presentation will give a brief introduction of the main functionalities of GSAM/GENESIS, and give live demos to demonstrate the usability of GSAM.
