125 Multiple Optimization type Capability Context • there are multiple optim methods (topology, lattice, shape opt) but none fits for all needs • each is dedicated for a specific context, specific needs and specific expectations • Topology optimization: • aims to sketch a design from scratch; • rather fits in early stage of conception; • delivers the best design within a working domain; • is an IBM approach, not accurate but highly permissive. • Shape optimization: • improves an existing design by bringing local modifications; • rather fits in late stage of conception; • delivers the best modification to improve a given design; • is a body-fitted approach, accurate but less permissive. • For an orphan component, just chose the appropriate approach. But for a system with multiple components, one method is not always adequate. It is sometimes necessary to use specific optimization method on each component. Since 2023 R1, it is possible to • solve an optimization problem • ... with multiple optimization regions • ... having their own optim method (Topology, Shape opt. , Topography)
