Non Linear Topology

Description
Develop new technique for Topology Optimization for non linear loading such as crash in order to determine best load path earlier in the program.

Benefits
Ability to consider many more design variables than current methods Huge improvement in computational cost More efficient designs, based on load paths from Topology. Further optimized using size and shape optimization

Applications
X760 is the first full vehicle application, leading to other D7a products and beyond into the rest of the cycle plan
