Presentation Abstract

Product development traditionally involves a costly and iterative process of design, redesign, and analysis. This cyclic nature often results in significant resource expenditure and time delays. The central question of this presentation is whether topology optimization can shift this paradigm by allowing for the direct derivation of optimal designs from functional requirements, thereby minimizing the need for iterative redesign and analysis. This presentation seeks to explore topology optimization as a new design paradigm that challenges traditional methodologies in product development.
