Product catalog summary
Introduction
GENESIS Topology for ANSYS Mechanical (GTAM) is an integrated extension that enhances the ANSYS environment by adding topology optimization capabilities. This tool allows designers to automatically generate innovative designs through a user-friendly interface.
Specifications and Features
  • Supports multiple loading conditions and various analysis systems, including Static Structural, Modal, Linear Buckling, Harmonic, and Random Vibrations.
  • Includes built-in responses for objectives and constraints such as strain energies, frequencies, mass, and displacement.
  • Offers manufacturing constraints for designable regions, including symmetries, casting, and extrusion.
Optimization Tools
  • GENESIS: A comprehensive finite element analysis and design optimization software package that includes static, normal modes, direct and modal frequency analysis, heat transfer, and system buckling.
  • DOT: A general-purpose numerical optimization software library for solving nonlinear optimization problems.
  • BIGDOT: Designed for very large, nonlinear, constrained problems, capable of solving problems with over three million variables.
Additional Software
  • VisualDOC: A software system that simplifies adding optimization to design tasks, featuring a graphical interface and various optimization methods.
  • Design Studio for GENESIS: A graphical interface for pre- and post-processing in the GENESIS program, supporting optimization setup and result visualization.
  • ESLDYNA: Optimization software that couples GENESIS with LS-DYNA for nonlinear structural analyses, reducing design time by identifying high-performance designs with fewer analyses.
Performance Enhancements
  • SMS Fast Eigensolver: Can be added to NASTRAN installations to improve performance significantly, offering 2-10 times speedup for systems with many degrees of freedom.
Conclusion
