2. 📝 Content Outline
This content will explain artificial intelligence technology ($\text{AI}$) Two key trends that are transforming the product and structural design process in engineering, with a focus on creating parts that are lightweight and highly rigid :
2.1. Context of modern design
- Challenges: Engineers face complex constraints such as weight reduction, material cost reduction, performance enhancement (e.g., cooling), and manufacturing compliance.
- The role of$\text{AI}$: $\text{AI}$It helps explore diverse and complex design solutions that traditional (engineer-experience-based) design approaches cannot.
2.2. Generative Design
- Concept: It is a design process that$\text{AI}$Create a wide variety of possible shapes based on goals and constraints set by the engineer.
- Engineer Input: Engineers define key conditions such as:
- Design Space: The area where parts can be designed.
- Fixed Points & Load Bearing Areas
- Materials and Manufacturing Method
- Weight Reduction Target
- Output of$\text{AI}$: $\text{AI}$It explores and creates unique geometric patterns that meet or exceed specified specifications, often resulting in shapes that appear organic or resemble natural structures.
2.3. Topology Optimization (Topology Optimization)
- Concept: It is a mathematical technique that focuses on finding the best distribution of material within a given area in order to obtain a part with the desired strength using the least amount of material.
- Process: Start with a complete structure (Solid Block) and use engineering analysis (such as$\text{FEA}$) along with repeated calculations to eliminate unnecessary materials or materials that bear little stress.
- Objective: The result is a significant weight reduction while maintaining functionality and strength. Topology Optimization is often used as a tool to refine the resulting design.$\text{Generative Design}$Or initial design
2.4. Main benefits of application
- Ultra-lightweight: Create parts that can achieve weight savings of 20-50%, which is particularly important in the aerospace, electric vehicles (EV) industries.$\text{EV}$) and robots
- Structural Optimization: The resulting shape has better stiffness and fatigue life than conventional designs.
- Reduce design cycle time: Significantly speed up iteration and experimentation in the design phase.
