Pointwise Used in Topology Optimization of Automotive Components

Fluid flow performance and behavior are becoming increasingly important for the design of automotive vehicle shape and key components with increasing pressure to improve design performance while reducing cost and time to market.

ENGYS Limited, a provider and user of open-source technologies for computational fluid design (CFD) and design optimization, combined Pointwise high-quality unstructured mesh generation for CFD with Helyx Adjoint to provide efficient and effective topology optimization of automotive components.

Combining Pointwise’s powerful unstructured mesh generation with Helyx Adjoint sensitivity based shape optimization enables fully automated performance-driven design shape evolution and optimization to meet target performance objectives.
