Front End Analytics recently presented three use cases at NAFEMS’ Multiscale & Multiphysics Symposium in Columbus, OH. Two cases involved the non-parametric topology optimization (one of a hip implant component and the other of a brake caliper) using Abaqus and Tosca, both strong candidates for additive manufacturing. The third involved the parametric optimization of a cold spray additive manufacturing process, using the multiphysics capabilities of Abaqus, and Isight for the optimization sequence for different particle sizes and impact velocities.
