In the 3-D design suite, ANSYS 19 empowers engineers at every level to explore new design spaces with simulation, regardless of their experience level. With ANSYS 19, engineers can produce lighter-weight, stronger designs in a shorter amount of time through enhancements in topology optimization. ANSYS now provides shape optimization updates while solving — providing engineers additional control over the final design in a shorter amount of time. Printing enhancements also enable users to more quickly smooth, repair and optimize topology optimized shapes for downstream use.

"Reducing vehicle fuel consumption and emissions are top priorities for the automotive industry, and reducing vehicle weight is one of the most effective ways to achieve those goals," said Sachin Hardikar, computer aided engineering engineer at KSR International. "KSR International engineers used the ANSYS topology optimization solution to largely automate the process of redesigning a brake pedal to reduce its weight. Using ANSYS, we reduced structural optimization time from seven to two days, while achieving a 21 percent weight savings, which is considerably more than could have been accomplished using conventional methods. ANSYS 19 will help us continue to achieve substantial weight savings without having to invest significant engineering resources."
