Optimering för minimal materialanvändning av gjutna komponenter 2.5 hp

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.

Kursinnehåll

The course provides practical skills in design optimization of cast metal components with consideration of manufacturing-related effects. The course focuses on iterative optimization, redesign, casting simulation, transfer of manufacturing results to structural analysis models, and verification. The course includes the following elements: - Optimization, objective functions, constraints and design variables - Casting simulation, mapping of manufacturing-related results - Material reduction under design requirements - Post-processing and redesign of optimized cast geometries
