- "Must-look" for engineers engaged in structural design of automobiles!
- Seemingly "mature"structural member design (weight, stiffness, fatigue, eigen-frequency) can still be improved. Take a look at numerous examples!
- Direct presentation by Mr. Boris Lauber, consultant engineer of FE-DESIGN (Germany), TOSCA's developer, will be given in the seminar.
The presentation includes latest application examples in European automakers!
- Preview of the non-parameteric structural optimization tool "TOSCA" V6.1 (coming this summer) is also presented! |

 |
|
TOSCA's application examples by major European automakers and automobile component makers.
Here are some of the examples that are presented in the seminar. |

Shape optimization of combustion engine based on fatigue analysis and FEA |
Optimization of camshaft absorber using TOSCA's topology and shape optimization functions with consideration of non-linear material behavior (by Freudenberg Research Service) |
Shape optimization of wheel carrier based of simultaneous consideration of different load cases. |

| Introduction |
|
At VINAS, we are promoting the concept of "Further improvement of product performance and efficient design optimization" to improve the efficiency of our customer's digital engineering activities.
This seminar focuses on design optimization of structural components and presents non-parametric structure optimization system "TOSCA". We invite Mr. Boris Lauber, consultant engineer from FE-DESIGN, developer of TOSCA, to present successful and informative application examples of TOSCA in European companies including major automakers, automobile component suppliers, and other machine tool makers. The examples show how TOSCA can improve performance of products (weight, stiffness, fatigue, eigen-frequency) by making design changes that are not achieved by other conventional optimization methods.
We believe this seminar will be a good opportunity for engineers to discover new ideas about how to improve product performances and competitiveness. We hope to see you in the seminar.
