Scope
Highly optimized lightweight components are typically subject to many requirements on their performance and restrictions imposed by manufacturing and assembly. Often, requirements and restrictions are not available as explicit constraints and cannot be included in tools that automatically generate design proposals. Also, there are no methods available for optimal load path design of mechanical connections.
Anticipated results
Methods and tools for automatically generating
(1) feasible lightweight designs with a particular focus on additive manufacturing and (2) optimal load paths for connecting interfaces. The methods will be applied to demonstrator parts from industry partners.
