Simcenter OptiStruct FAQs
Answers to common questions from engineering teams evaluating simulation software.
What is OptiStruct used for?
It is a structural analysis and design optimization solution for supported engineering problems.
Can it perform topology optimization?
Topology optimization is a key capability associated with OptiStruct; available methods and manufacturing constraints depend on the configured product and workflow.
Does optimization automatically produce a production-ready design?
No. Optimized concepts require engineering interpretation, manufacturability review, detailed design and validation.
Is it suitable for lightweighting?
It can support lightweighting studies when objectives, loads, constraints and manufacturing requirements are properly defined.
