Siemens new topology optimization is very easy to use and with a few button clicks can generate a usable CAD model.
Webinar 7: Design Based Topology Optimization
Topology Optimization has been around for a while but has been hard to operate and even harder to use the results. Siemens new topology optimization is very easy to use and with a few button clicks can generate a usable CAD model which can be sent directly to a 3D printer or continue on performing new CAD operations to tweak your design. Topics include:
- Quickly identify optimum shape while minimizing weight
- Additive manufacturing
- 3D printing
- Convergent modeling

Generative design builds upon the traditional design approach by applying computing power and optimization techniques to component design. Generative design helps designers reduce both the weight and amount of material used for a specific component, while maintaining its structural integrity. Our solution for generative design allows you to replace small assemblies with a single component, reducing manufacturing costs and bill-of-materials complexity. Performing a generative design study can result in interesting new design ideas that can be incorporated into your traditional design process.

Generative Design Software Bolstered by Topology Optimization
Generative design builds upon the traditional design approach by applying computing power and optimization techniques to component design. Generative design helps designers reduce both the weight and amount of material used for a specific component, while maintaining its structural integrity. Our solution for generative design allows you to replace small assemblies with a single component, reducing manufacturing costs and bill-of-materials complexity. Performing a generative design study can result in interesting new design ideas that can be incorporated into your traditional design process.
Based on your parameters—a specific component material, a design space [or envelope], and permissible loads and constraints—Solid Edge will compute a reduced-mass geometric solution that maintains structural integrity. You can run multiple weight targets, load cases, and constraint scenarios simultaneously.
Parts resulting from generative design in Solid Edge are ready for Additive Manufacturing. High-resolution 3D printers can handle the complex shapes, shortening your new product time-to-market or speeding production of replacement parts.
Components optimized using generative design can be further modified with Convergent Modeling and Synchronous Technology. Meshed results are seamlessly integrated into the normal model editing process, allowing you to get the final design needed for the task at hand. No more waiting for tedious, inaccurate conversions from triangular mesh to b-rep.
From the beginning, we knew generative design software would save us weight, give a unique look to the part, and differentiate it from parts we’ve made in the past.”

In this demonstration, we show you how Solid Edge continues to deliver innovation in product development with built-in generative design capabilities. Generative design produces an organic, reduced-mass geometric solution of a specific material optimized within a defined space, accounting for permissible loads and constraints.
