Free-size optimization is a simulation-driven design technology used to optimize machine structures and parts stamped from tailor-welded blanks, but is most widely used in the design of complex laminate composite components. Learn how free-size optimization works and how it’s applied to improve product design.

Size, Shape, and Free-shape optimization are simulation-driven design technologies used to fine-tune the formation of structural product concepts. Used to find optimal solutions for key product characteristics like cross-sectional thickness and material choice, or to refine areas with high stress concentration, these tools help reduce the risk of product failure. Find out how size, shape, and free-shape optimization can help improve your product design process.
