Jet Engine Bracket Tutorial

Step 1:

...

For this Tutorial the project of the Jet Engine Bracket is used.

...

Automatic Workflow

For a Retransition to a NURBS-Geometry a non-intersected optimisation result is needed. Therefore, the Smooth-Geometry from the Post Processing can be transferred to the model Pre Processingselected. The geometry of this file stays always inside the Design Spaces limits except of the Interface areas, they intentionally exceed the Design Space limits to enable an easy and clean Boolean Intersection.

...

Choose the Transfer Design Candidate Shape to pre process button and select the option Map LBCs and Material. With this option, the transfer of the geometry to the pre processing, the NURBS retransitioning and the intersection with the Design Space are carried out automatically. This automated workflow is not stopping after the intersection but is continuing to map the LBCs and Material information to the Design Candidate e.g. for a verification with MSC Apex (FE-Reanalysis).

The finished Geometry can be used in any CAD software and for all further steps like a FE-Reanalysis with MSC Nastran.
