Optimize external body shape, underbody flow and cooling airflow for reduced resistance.
Automotive Industries Design Optimization
SmartDO supports automotive design optimization for individual components, complete structural systems and vehicle aerodynamic performance. It can connect parametric design, CAE simulation and engineering constraints within one automated optimization workflow.
Reduce component and system weight while satisfying strength and durability constraints.
Improve crash response, vibration behaviour, fatigue life and load-carrying capability.
Automotive Optimization Areas
SmartDO can be applied from component-level studies to complete vehicle systems involving structural, thermal and aerodynamic performance.
Aerodynamic Performance
Reduce drag coefficient and improve airflow around the body, cooling system and engine compartment.
Lightweight Structure
Optimize thickness, geometry and material distribution to reduce mass without compromising performance.
Crash Resistance
Improve energy absorption, deformation control and occupant-protection performance.
Vibration and NVH
Control natural frequencies, dynamic response, resonance and structural vibration.
Typical SmartDO Workflow
The optimization process links CAD or CAE variables, simulation results, objectives and automotive design constraints.
