This is a recording of the webinar Parametric Optimization vs Topology Optimization…PO-TAY-TO, PO-TAH-TO...is there a difference? on March 16th. This webinar covers the topic of the differences and similarities between the two types of design optimization studies featured in SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional. Additionally, as a prerequisite to the topic of Parametric Optimization, the basics of Design Studies are also covered. In terms of Parametric optimization, this webinar gives a brief tutorial of how to enable and setup a design study to use variables, constraints, and goals to optimize model features and dimensions. In terms of Topology Optimization, this webinar examines the key benefits as well as limitations in implementation this optimization strategy in terms of the possible user inputs and potential geometry outputs of this type of study.
