+ KSR International Case Study “KSR International engineers used ANSYS topology optimization to largely automate the process of redesigning a brake pedal module. Compared to conventional design methods, digital exploration using topology optimization reduced structural optimization time from seven to two days while achieving a 21 percent weight savings, which is considerably more than could have been accomplished using conventional methods.” Sachin Hardikar Computer Aided Engineering Engineer, KSR International Ryan Elliott Engineering Manager, KSR InternationalThe automotive industry is striving to reduce vehicle weight in order to reduce average vehicle fuel consumption and emissions. KSR Interna- tional, which produces 14 million brake and clutch pedal modules per year,
