Structural Optimization
Achieve the perfect balance of strength, weight, and cost through computational optimization.
Structural optimization improves design efficiency. Advanced methods automate design exploration, delivering superior solutions while reducing development time and costs compared to traditional approaches.
Through topology optimization and advanced computational techniques, we strategically place material and refine geometry to meet loading requirements with minimal mass and manufacturing cost. We can optimize for multiple objectives simultaneously – stiffness, strength, vibration characteristics, fatigue life, and manufacturability.
Rapid evaluation of design alternatives ensures your structures achieve optimal performance throughout their service life. Modern additive manufacturing techniques make previously impossible optimized geometries both practical and cost-effective.

Saving energy by reducing weight—advantages of structural analysis using modeling
As the price of energy is rising, so is the price of materials. That is why it is now worth reducing the weight of structures to save energy and money. Structural analysis using modeling offers great opportunities here: the models give better results on the details of the structure, and thus the material can be used where it is needed. In addition, models help in choosing the right materials and in extending the service life of structures.
Not only colorful pictures – CFD saves time and money
Did you know that by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) you can save as much as 80 % in design time and 60 % in design costs? During the past 20 years, I’ve been lucky enough to participate in many interesting simulation projects both in Finland and abroad and have seen how clients have received instant help. But what is CFD really? Where can it be applied and why should it be utilized?
