The objective of the project was to achieve a reasonable amount of weight reduction from the component using morphing, parameterization & optimization features of Meshworks. One of the main request from the customer was to maintain the performance from the baseline design during the optimization & consider the casting manufacturability. The Solution The ‘transformed product development process’ using Meshworks was executed for the weight optimization. Following are the major tasks condu
