![]() It will “grow” a near optimal concept using FEA simulations. Instead of bringing simulation into the initial CAD design, Inspire works backwards. Inspire is an interesting example of early concept CAE design. Essentially, Inspire uses a bone growth algorithm to create the shape of a part from little more than loads, boundary conditions and a space that represents a maximum build volume. Take for instance the evolution of bones-long skeletal bones will grow and change shape as they are subjected to loads and boundary conditions.Īltair’s solidThinking has programmed this bone-like behaviour into Inspire, a concept modeling application for mechanical design. The concept of a part taking shape as it reacts to its environment may be new to engineers, but nature has been doing this for a long time. ![]()
