Isight for Abaqus

An interactive, graphical, Abaqus-based application with state-of-the-art optimization technology to create breakthrough design quality for real-world engineered products

Isight for Abaqus is an add-on product for Abaqus FEA software that provides design exploration and optimization technology, which enables designers and engineers to perform rapid trade-off studies of real-world behavior.

The software allows a user to quickly explore thousands of design options in a well-understood space of competitive choices. It supports parallel submission of optimization, Monte Carlo, and Design of Experiments (DOE) jobs on multiprocessor machines or with third-party job scheduling software. An Isight for Abaqus user can collaborate with colleagues and partners to rapidly find the best design via an intuitive, interactive graphical user interface.

Highlights of Isight for Abaqus:

• A complete suite of DOE techniques enables customers to explore the design space.
• Gradient and Genetic algorithms optimize design performance for structural, thermal, acoustic, and other performance attributes.
• Quality and Six Sigma methods take into account the manufacturing and operational variability in product design.
• Multi-run scatter plots offer one-click visualization of the virtual prototype in Abaqus/Viewer.
• Correlation maps show the influence of design variables on product performance.
• Response Surface Method (RSM) and Radial Basis Function (RBF) approximations interactively trade off product performance.
