Abstract

Topology optimization is useful to carrying out the weight reduction and in process cost reduction can be achieved. This kind of optimization input shape and size modification and optimization give us improved product in reduction of material. For this study, planet pinion carrier is selected for topology optimization. Software gives an innovative real-time picture of company activities and ecosystem and links people, ideas and data in a single collaborative environment. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform as an operating system helps companies to achieve operational excellence. Casting is a process where allowances and other things are provided and if we could able to optimize the material and weight of the casting there is a scope for optimization the material size and shape in casting process. Planet pinion carrier which is a cast product is taken from well-known industry for topology optimization. For optimization that product first 3D model is done and this 3D model is given as an input for topology optimization software. Force analysis is carried out by using ANSYS software and then topology optimization procedure is applied accordingly product is optimized. After topology optimization again force analysis is carried out. It has been found that 20 percent reduction is observed in this study. The part details and load conditions are given by well-known industry for topology optimization. Size, shape and cost is reduced by giving various load conditions in FUSION 360 software. Modeling and remodeling is done using software. Comparative study has been done using AUTOCAST software. Part details are calculated and also casting flow and real time for actual casting is simulated by using software.
