Wouldn’t it be awesome if you had time in your overall design process to optimize all design concepts thoroughly before choosing the most optimal solution?
The natural limits of normal working hours coupled with lots of project deadlines makes it challenging to explore design solutions. There’s always a ton of research to do, lots of concepts to explore and design limits to measure. Increasing costs in the budget and tight regulations are all some of the factors, which should be considered in the overall design process.
Concerns and issues are many. Always coming towards you from every direction. As a product developer, you feel under pressure to maximize your efficiency just to meet all the expectations. Does that mean you have to compromise between concepts, some of which may be able to address and solve most (if not all) issues being faced by your targeted market niche?
Having a tedious design process makes it harder to design the best products. When manually testing different designs, you single out the concept meeting the requirements. But how do you know if your chosen concept is the most optimal? Actually, you may end up optimizing a CAD-model while leaving out other design concepts, which may meet the requirements to a greater extent. You may prioritize one viable design for the benefit of the most optimal design solution. Only because there isn’t enough time to test all concepts through! In addition, all necessary changes in your design have to be done manually. Whatever variables your design has, you need to run the simulation to measure these results against the requirements. If they simply don’t add up, you have to repeat the same process of trial and error. A process that can be infinitely long with so many design objectives to take into account.
Computer-aided engineering, CAE, is beneficial but a very inconvenient back-and-forth process. Given the short amount of time you have before the next deadline, the proces is not optimal. Even if it’s beneficial to simulate and model your CAD thoroughly, you still risk encountering unsustainable variables. Unsustainable variables, which you need to manually measure against your requirements before the final prototype is ready for production. It doesn’t mean you can’t create optimal designs going through this process. It’s more a question of whether you want something that works or the best design solution possible to meet your customers’ every need. It’s a question of whether you want better designs in less time by automating this process. What do you prefer?
With CORTIME, a CAO-tool, product development becomes more effective thanks to a trustworthy data-driven approach. Manual design optimization in the engineering workflow becomes automated and integrated into your simulation tool, which gives you:
Defining the requirements for your product to then simulate and model it remains the same. However, with CORTIME’s powerful algorithms, you can automatically generate numerous iterations based on one design concept. Hence, you no longer have to manually change your design to measure it against the requirements and then run the simulation. Only to repeat this same process of trial and error until you can single out the best design solution to achieve primary industrial goals.
Now, you don’t have to prioritize between design concepts – some of which can be of great efficiency and have the potential to meet all the expectations set by your customer base. With CORTIME as an integrated add-on to your simulation tool, you only have to define design variables, objectives and start the optimization. The software handles the rest for you, thus reducing manual development time, reducing time-to-market and eliminating the pressure of project deadlines – making you a more effective product developer 24/7.
As mentioned earlier, CORTIME runs an automatic optimization, generating countless iterations around the clock so you don’t have to manually evaluate, refine and run several tests. Hence, it saves you both time to take care of other urgent tasks while it runs like a stedfast buddy – doing so at a fraction of a cost, saving you money in the overall budget. When the optimization is complete, CORTIME has selected the most optimal design solution for you. As a bonus, it offers an overview of the entire optimization from start to finish with its own powerful data analysis tools, giving you better insight much earlier in your design process.
All possible design concepts are tested based on one design concept. As a result, you can automatically simulate your way into a final product that has already been evaluated, refined, simulated and tested intelligently for you. As an indispensable addition to your simulation tool, CORTIME expands the limited working hours for you to spend elsewhere. And since the optimization is automatic and based on data, compared to manually making the design changes to fit the requirements, you not only save time but the financial costs as well. All in favor of better designs in less time and at a lower cost!
