Solution approach

Using Optimus to parameterize the model of the suspension arm, engineers can easily investigate the effect of various design parameters on structural response and fatigue lifetime. In doing so, Optimus automates any repetitive tasks that are required to prepare the models (saving a lot of valuable engineering time) and entirely eliminates the traditional trial-and-error approach to research alternative designs. Using state-of-the-art optimization methods, Optimus delivers a design that ensures a mass reduction of 8% while satisfying all performance constraints.
