Combining Structural Optimization and Process Assurance in Implicit Modelling for Casting Parts.

ABSTRACT: The structural optimization of manufacturable casting parts is still a challenging and time-consuming task. Today, topology optimization is followed by a manual reconstruction of the design proposal and a process assurance simulation to endorse the design proposal. Consequently, this process is iteratively repeated until it reaches a satisfying compromise. This article shows a method to combine structural optimization and process assurance results to generate automatically structure- and process-optimized die casting parts using implicit geometry modeling. Therefore, evaluation criteria are developed to evaluate the current design proposal and qualitatively measure the improvement of manufacturability between two iterations. For testing the proposed method, we use a cantilever beam as an e
