Optimization for Minimal Material Utilization of Cast Components

Education facts

Code: T2OFMM

The course is intended for design engineers who want to strengthen their expertise in component development, with an emphasis on reducing material usage while maintaining performance and supporting sustainable design practices. Participants will gain knowledge of parameter and topology optimization methods and learn how to apply commercial software tools to define, analyse and evaluate design optimization problems. By combining these skills, participants will be able to develop components that meet requirements for strength, stiffness and functionality while minimizing unnecessary material consumption.
