Our company develops various products by utilizing shape processing technology, functional calculation technology, and design technology. In this article, we present a case study of a heat sink design that was designed by interweaving thermal fluid topology optimization and human knowledge.

This is a travelogue in which our structural engineer takes four bridges in Tokyo as examples and explains their structures as he travels around the city. The scenery you usually see may look a little different. Please enjoy the idyllic atmosphere.

In this article we caluclated CFD by OpenFOAM as a first step to do geometry optimization.

For folding hangers designed by applying compliant mechanism, we will confirm the cost reduction effect by compacting parts.

This article introduces Tunny, Optuna's 3D CAD wrapper. We will start with an introduction of Rhinoceros, a 3D CAD software on which Tunny runs. Then, I will provide a brief overview of how I implemented Tunny. Finally, I will walk you through some design examples using Tunny, including crash safety design of a car front bumper in connection with CAE, and Human-in-the-loop optimization of vase shapes and architectural column placement.

In order to simulate a metamaterial structure efficiently, it is replaced by a uniform shell element.

We designed a folding hanger that can be mass-produced by plastic injection molding as a technology available today.

As an example of integrating multiple components using compliant mechanisms, we will introduce the design of a folding hanger.

We exhibited as a startup at the Automotive Engineering Exposition Nagoya and had a great time discussing with many visitors. We are grateful to all those who were interested in our technology and vision. In our exhibit, we presented design technologies and case studies of shock absorption, thermal, and vibration/stiffness. As we interacted with visitors, we saw the potential to solve important problems in the manufacturing industry. We look forward to your continued support and anticipation.

Karamba3d is a structural analysis plug-in that runs on top of 3D CAD Rhinoceros Grasshopper. Karamba3d is not a well-known commercial CAE like Ansys, so I am curious about its performance, However, as there is not much information on this, this article will check it on a simple model.
