Geometric optimization project through mass reduction

SpaceClaim software with the original model was designed and underwent ANSYS FEA simulation to know the stress of the original part before the load operation.

Later, with the use of ANSYS optimization tool predicted that part of geometry could be withdrawn.

From there the optimal model was constructed with reversed ingeenering and the simulation was performed again to confirm that the results of stress remain in a safe region.

Mass
Original geometry: 0.972lbm
Optimum geometry: 0.416lbm
Reduction of 43%

Results (Stress)
Original geometry: 2894.4psi
Optimum geometry: 2948.7psi
