RESEARCH TO OPTIMIZE PRODUCT SHAPE USING AUTODESK INVENTOR PRO SOFTWARE

Abstract

Reducing the weight of aesthetically pleasing machine parts is one of the biggest trends today. Applications and variations of the part are determined using the Finite Element Method (FEM). Shape optimization is a method by which lighter details can be obtained while preserving the safety and durability of components. This article deals with optimizing the shape of a bearing plate commonly found in mechanical engineering. The verification of the suitability of the newly optimized model will be done on the basis of a static simulation of the shape using Inventor Pro 2023 software. Optimum results in lighter weight detail, higher aesthetics while ensuring durability. This optimization ensures novelty because it has only been integrated into inventors recently and continues to be developed.
