TOSCA

TOSCA Structure is a modular system for non-parametric structural optimization. Topology, shape and bead optimization of FE models with an arbitrary number of load cases and boundary conditions can be performed with TOSCA Structure. A parameterization of the model is not needed, which reduces the modeling effort and allows greater flexibility in the optimized structure. The optimization algorithms are based upon mechanical optimality criteria, which makes the optimization fast and robust.

TOSCA Structure is the right tool for fast and reliable design of lightweight, rigid and durable components and systems. With its capabilities for process integration TOSCA Structure is an important resource for the development of innovative products and gives a fast return-on-investment.
