OptiAssist - Composite materials Optimization Software

June 03, 2024

OptiAssist for Abaqus is the industry-leading FEA simulation solver used by 7 out of the top 10 Formula 1 teams, who have dominated the Constructors' Championship for the past 19 years. This proven technology empowers engineers to perform cutting-edge structural composite optimization, this technology delivers the edge needed to succeed in the most demanding engineering environments.

Here's what sets OptiAssist apart:

  • Real-time design exploration: Instantly predict the impact of laminate changes on mass, stiffness, and displacements – all within a single Abaqus simulation.
  • Prioritize plies with confidence: Identify the most critical plies in your design, allowing for targeted optimization efforts.
  • Make informed decisions faster: Evaluate design options before committing to further Abaqus studies, saving valuable time and resources.
  • Optimize ply shapes and fibre placement: Develop the most efficient laminate configurations to meet various structural demands.
  • Reduce design uncertainty: Eliminate guesswork and validate the feasibility of your concepts from the start.
  • Lightweighting made easy: Explore solutions to minimize mass while maintaining or improving performance of existing layups.
  • Manufacturing-friendly designs: Incorporate practical manufacturing constraints during laminate optimization for seamless production.

Beyond Abaqus: OptiAssist isn't just for Abaqus users. This powerful tool can also be integrated with other popular FEA solvers, giving you maximum flexibility in your design workflow.

OptiAssist streamlines your composite design process, leading to lighter, stronger, and more efficient products.
