Collaboration Between Newton Works and Soluzia Consulting

Introduction
Newton Works Co., based in Chuo Ward, Tokyo, has embarked on a collaborative initiative with Soluzia Consulting (OPC) PRIVATE LIMITED, an engineering service provider located in Bangalore, India. This partnership aims to fortify the sales and technical support framework for the structural optimization software, OPTISHAPE-TS, in the Indian market, promoting the effective utilization of optimization technology in the initial design stages.

Background of the Collaboration

In product development, achieving a balance among multiple demands such as lightweight design, high rigidity, and vibration characteristics presents significant challenges for designers. This issue is particularly prevalent in India, where the rising sophistication of the mechanical industry has fostered increased interest in integrating optimization technology into the development process from the initial design phases.
Through its structural optimization software, OPTISHAPE-TS, Newton Works has been providing designers with innovative optimization techniques. On the other hand, Soluzia Consulting is renowned for its expertise in design support using finite element analysis and optimization, as well as for training engineers. By combining their strengths, the two companies believe they can deliver optimization solutions tailored to the Indian market's design requirements.

Details of the Collaboration

In this partnership, Soluzia Consulting will assume the following responsibilities:

• - Manage the distribution of OPTISHAPE-TS in the Indian market.
• - Provide technical support for the implementation of OPTISHAPE-TS alongside consulting services on how to effectively leverage optimization within the design process.

The collaboration aims to go beyond mere software sales. It emphasizes the importance of supporting designers in seamlessly integrating optimization into their design workflows.

Soluzia Consulting, based in Bangalore, India, offers engineering consulting and training predominantly in the fields of structural analysis, optimization design, and e-Mobility. The company's CTO & Business Head, Ashith Kumar Shetty, is an engineer with over 15 years of experience in finite element analysis and optimization-driven design. He has extensive practical experience in supporting structural design in the automotive and heavy industries, developing methods to utilize optimization from the initial design stages, and mentoring young engineers.

Introduction to OPTISHAPE-TS

OPTISHAPE-TS is a multi-purpose structural optimization software designed to visualize 3D shapes based on specifications and objectives established in the upstream design process. Its key features include:

• - Non-parametric shape optimization: This allows the deformation of shapes akin to modeling with clay, liberating designers from traditional design constraints.
• - Force method optimization: A unique algorithm that autonomously adjusts the shape by simultaneously considering multiple parameters such as eigenvalues, stiffness, stress, and volume.
• - Multi-objective and simultaneous optimization: Capability to handle various requirements such as shifting natural frequencies, maximizing stiffness, minimizing mass, and reducing thermal stress and displacement.
• - Streamlined design processes: By managing the iterative loop of design, evaluation, and revision, OPTISHAPE-TS allows designers to focus on decision-making.

Additionally, through an optional feature called “S-Generator,” optimization results can be converted into CAD data, thus establishing a seamless process from upstream design to detailed design.
